Hunkerousness [HUNG-ker-us-nes] (n.) - Old fogy-ism; political conservatism; an inexplicable opposition to compassion, kindness, progress, and equality.
![A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Hunkerousness,” with the pronunciation “[HUNG-ker-us-nes]” beneath it. The definition reads: “(n.) 1. Old fogy-ism; political conservatism; an inexplicable opposition to compassion, kindness, progress, and equality.” Below the definition is an example sentence: “The xenophobic party cheered each fresh act of cruelty as its hunkerousness metastasized into a cult of personality surrounding a bloated demagogue who trafficked in suspicion, cruelty, and anti-intellectualism.” On the right side is a detailed Victorian-style woodcut illustration of two men in top hats standing beneath a decorative arched structure.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:uzkqphsznycugmyz7hqvna3f/bafkreigaw6bzqgihiezvynjqgx36jsybc7jsmiovr7d4vn2j4bkqucb7s4)

Political power comes from the ground up. School boards and city councils spawned the Tea Party/MAGA. The biggest mistake Dems made was not investing in the 2008 Obama enthusiasm to build generational change. We can do that now 👇👇👇 this is why I donate to @runforsomething.net every god damn month

I'm in NW Austin. We switched from delivery to pickup and our HEB grocery order went down about $100. That's for less than two weeks for a family of four. "Algorithmic pricing" needs to die. houston.culturemap.com/news/innovat...

Jeffries has whipped against impeachment, told members to stop going to El Salvador, told committees to avoid procedural means to slow House business, advocated for Connolly over AOC for House Oversight, and has enormous influence over members including by power over the House Majority PAC and DCCC.
