    Y'all zoomers don't remember when conservatives would call the naive progressive Obama supporters "moonbats"? It was nearly as common to hear it from Tea Party chuds from around 2007-2011 as it was to hear "cuck" from the MAGA chuds from 2015-2017.

      It's of a similar provenance to "wingnut" to describe a right-winger. Kids need to get off my lawn I'm trying to watch jib-jab Flash videos but for some reason Flash isn't working.

        I agree, I remember hearing it and would say it’s equivalent to wingnut, but wingnut has a more obvious meaning since it’s just an abbreviation of “right wing nut job”.
