Congratulations, neo-Nazis, quasi-Nazis and panderers-to-Nazis: You’ve managed to catapult your obsession with “cuckolding” into semi-mainstream political discourse.
It’s no secret that those on the far right in the US can’t stop talking about “cuckolding.” Some have been using “cuck” as a handy insult for any man they don’t like; others have concocted weird paranoid fantasies about black men “cuckolding” white men and the white race, literally and symbolically. It’s a ridiculous mixture of racism and misogyny.
And until recently, it was mostly confined to the neo-Nazis and “dark enlightenment” sorts. A couple of months back, you may recall, the cuck-callers tried ineffectually to torpedo a Nickelodeon show about a high school cheerleader-turned-quarterback for supposedly “promoting anti-white (and consequently pro-black (heh)) race cucking.”
That strange crusade never caught on but the same gang of far-right cuck-callers has hit the big time with “cuckservative,” a handy if ill-defined epithet for conservatives who aren’t conservative blatantly racist enough for the anti-“cultural Marxist” crowd.
Over the last couple of weeks, the “cuckservative” meme has blown up on Twitter, and ignited a miniature civil war on the right online. Right-wing and far-right “journalists” and bloggers, from Erick Erickson at Red State to Milo Yiannopoulos at Breitbart to Andrew Anglin at the Daily Stormer, have been busily churning out, er, thinkpieces on the subject. (Erickson, who’s been himself labeled a “cuckservative,” hates the meme; Yiannopoulos and Anglin love it.) Even the Washington Post has weighed in on the subject.
But if you want to understand what exactly this meme is all about you don’t need to wade into that flood of verbiage; all you have to do is to take a look at the #cuckservative hashtag on Twitter, where people are a bit more, well, succinct in expressing their thoughts on the matter. Oh, and they’re also racist as hell.
Let’s take a look.

(All the slogans in this meme are literal neo-Nazi talking points.)

Dad likes to take me to sleepovers at his friends house. They have long noses, bushy beards, and funny looking hats. #Cuckservative

Despite all this — and these Tweets are actually fairly typical for the #cuckservative hashtag — there are those who insist that there’s nothing racist — honest! — about the #cuckservative meme.

And there are some slightly-less-far-right conservatives who’ve been trying to ignore the racism and recast the word as a handy put-down of “moderate” conservatives. Trouble is, most of the cuck-callers seem to think that pretty much all right-wing politicians and media personalities are “cucks.”
Their list of supposed “moderates” ranges from Jeb Bush …
… to Ted Cruz …
… to Bill O’Reilly …
… to Glenn Beck.
Indeed, the only big-name politician (aside from the late Adolf Hitler) that any of the cuck-callers seem to actually like is Donald Trump. (Well, Putin, too, but he’s not running for President over here.)
But that may change now that Trump has fired an aide for making a racist Tweet.
The #cuckservative meme may be too ridiculous, and too suffused with open racism, to survive for all that long in mainstream conservative circles. But there certainly a lot of people out there who want to keep this mishegoss going as long as they possibly can.
Especially this guy.

The little ball gag is a nice touch.

For people who claim to be oh so concerned about “traditional values” it’s amazing how vulgar and immature these fools are. Imagine trying to have a serious conversation with people who use terms like these. It’s enough to make my skin crawl.
Orion: Trump is actually getting bitten by the same trap as Clinton, during her primary contest with Obama. If you have already achieved nearly universal name-recognition, then everyone has already made up their minds about you. Both Hillary and the Donald have a large contingent of people who know who they are, and dislike them intensely.
Alan Robertshaw:
The leadership of all of which accept the neoliberal consensus – which, when all the fluff is removed, is “Do whatever enables the rich to get richer.”
The tabloid press expend a lot of effort persuading people that it’s “scroungers” and “migrants” that are to blame for their stagnating or declining standard of living, rather than the very rich whose wealth and income has increased enormously at their expense over the past few decades – so they clearly do believe in false consciousness, and have been cultivating it assiduously.
The only other time I’ve ever heard of someone using the terms “cuck” or “cuckolding” has been in a sexual fetishism context so this is just the strangest thing to me.
The “cuckservative” label is trash, but H1B visa fraud is real.
However, I think they mixed up their Hispanics (typical). Rubio sided with Disney when they fired their employees for cheap foreign labor; I thought Ted Cruz was against it (or spoke out against it).
Also, it’s “women WHO work;” obviously an employer would hire me (a woman) over you, oh darkly enlightened one, since I know basic grammar.
so how did that democrat landslide turn out? but, hey, even though republicans now control all levers of federal government and a substantial majority in state legislatures/governorships, clinton won the popular vote by ~3mil. shame they all live in california, lol.
