#CharacterisationWeaknessCuck [Wikipedia]
Context "Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where 'cuck' has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength. ... The word gained political potency during the 2016 election in the portmanteau 'cuckservative' (cuck + conservative) used to imply that the mainstream conservatives of the Jeb Bush variety are weak and effeminate. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not a cuckservative. He says what he wants and doesn't care if it's offensive. In reference to Trump's comments about Megyn Kelly having 'blood coming out of her wherever,' radio host Rush Limbaugh snarked, 'If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now.' But Donald Trump doesn't apologize. He went on to win the Republican presidential nomination as Jeb Bush, the one-time favorite, was irrevocably set back by a simple insult from Trump delivered with an invisible wink: 'low-energy.'... After the Civil War, the white supremacist movement radicalized its supporters with the fear of black men raping white women. Even Shakespeare evoked the sexual element of racial angst: in Othello, Iago attempts to pit Desdemona's father against his Moorish son-in-law by evoking very specific imagery: 'Even now, now, very now, an old black ram / Is tupping your white ewe.' In 2016, the word 'cuck' resonates with white nationalists who feel as though their country has been taken away from them, and not enough had been done by the cuckservative establishment conservative party to protect it. 'Cuck' is a concept borne out of insecurity: a fear that one is inadequate, sexually or otherwise, and that inadequacy will lead to the loss of the things that are important to him." https://www.gq.com/story/why-angry-white-men-love-calling-people-cucks #PoliticsFascismNaziNeoFarRightAltRightRadicalRight #PoliticallyCorrectPC #CharacterisationWeaknessCuckservative #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPJebBush #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #2016_ #NMUSFOXFNCMegynKelly #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #NarrativeWarAmericanCivil #SlurWhiteSupremacy #IRLHistoricalFigureWilliamShakespeare #1603_Othello #FictionalCharacterDesdemona #IdentityBlack #PoliticsNationalismWhite #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen
