Tyrannist: U.S. Political Term

Background

Tyrannist is an modern variation of the English word Tyrant. The variation originated on the internet within social media circles (Facebook, Twitter) in early 2013. Because the word Tyrant refers to "an absolute ruler", Tyrannist was created as a broad umbrella term intended to be used as a political label when associated with Liberal policy-makers that meet the definition criteria. However, the term subsequently expanded in meaning and may now refer to not only oppressive persons in positions of authority, but also those who support and promote those in authoritarian positions.

The term is a re-branding of the previous terms Liberal and Progressive, though refers to the same individuals or groups. While all three terms(Tyrannist, Liberal, Progressive) originally refer to a subscriber of Liberalism or Democratic ideology; by definition, Tyrannist may refer to any person acting in a tyrannical manner but not being an "absolute ruler".

Origin

Coined in early 2013 by American Constitutional Conservatives, Tyrannist is a term intended to more accurately portray the culture and intent of the modern Liberal and Progressive Ideologies as contrasted against those of the Founding Fathers. While Liberals have previously re-branded themselves for political gain; this latest re-branding was initiated by the Constitutional Conservatives in a growing effort to more accurately label those of non-Constitutional action and law-making. For example:


 * "Tyrannist John Doe voted in favor of the ban on large sodas and 10 round magazines."
