    Thanks for the detailed explanation!

    I read about it in German media and remember that it was stated there that Trump supporters used it first to describe some Democrats, but the Democrats just drew the UNO reverse card and have been way more successful with it.

      Because Democrats are mostly pretty sane and generally normal. Most Republicans are pretty delusional, but some are just bonkers and very weird about their beliefs (not completely sure, but I think a somewhat apt analogy might be to the AfD party in Germany, as several of the same talking points are shared between both).

        AFD is worse, I think. Some are more or less open Nazis. But there are disturbingly many similarities…
