I keep hearing the term in political discourse, and rather than googling it, I’m asking the people who know better than Google.

      I’m so happy I’m not as stupid as I thought because I have no idea either and now I still don’t know

        It’s a loaded term by design. It started as a pejorative and morphed into a strawman pejorative, you can see many people throughout this thread describing people that don’t exist.
