front-page article in the Seattle Stranger features the word "tankies". it's over

@kniferoomba i love that they're just "the tankies." what the fuck does this mean?????????????

@sarahzedig @kniferoomba tankies are when u arent a quiet, comfortable, conservative satellite or whatever

@sarahzedig I think it's a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that the term "tankie" has been overused to the point of meaninglessness

but if the reader lacks the years of leftist discourse brain poisoning that we possess, they wouldn't know that, and the sentence makes no goddamn sense

@sarahzedig I did show this to a former SAlt canvasser who did confirm that aggrieved liberal homeowners do sometimes call Sawant & crew "tankies"

and idk man that feels bad. I feel like liberal hacks shouldn't have ever gotten to learn what that word means
