Even if that's your thesis, it's still a bad term because it doesn't say anything about why. If you're going to use an atypical term in a debate, it should convey some information about why you hold your beliefs.

By that reasoning, "Democrap" is a signifier for an exclusionary (and thus anti-democratic) line of thought.
