    Bleeding heart just means that they’re too caring. As in, the type to give handouts and hug trees. But I haven’t heard that in forever. I think it’s been switched out for socialists.

    Not sure if I agree on the other two. They are definitely coopted for political gain. But I don’t know that it changes the base term. When they say “woke mob”, I don’t hear an implication that it’s disingenuous.

    Virtue signaling definitely applies though.

    I do find it ironic that liberals (people who just want to live their lives and not impede on others, not the politicians) give the least amount of fucks. They don’t give a fuck if gays marry, but they also don’t give a fuck if they’re not allowed to (assuming it doesn’t impact them).
