I see the term get thrown around a lot on social media, especially regarding politics, but never in a positive remark. A quick google search tells me a little, but I think I’m missing something important. It almost feels like everyone is using the term like people in the 50’s would use communist. Is it just labeling someone as not good basically? In most contexts it feels like most people that use it don’t even know what it means.
