31 2 Replyaeronmelon @lemmy.world Fan was originally short for fanatic, but language changes over time and now it means someone who likes something or someone. These "people" do not like, they hate. They are not fans, they are fanatics. And even that term feels too kind.

That's how I feel about right wing terrorism in US politics.
The fact that Democratic runners willingly cave to that kind of pressure not only emboldens these nutjobs but also shows a complete lack of spine.
