I have found "Duhmericans" to be highly accurate and appropriate.
And since politics are sneakily trickling in here, I'll include MAGATS: MAGA Trump Supporters, also unusually accurate.

We need to be careful. I made a comment outside The Lounge (to Xist) and JockoT got all micro-agressed and he hasn't posted since. I kind of liked the guy.
That said:"Duhmericans"
I think it works as a subset of the (North (American) Republic) gen-pop. Unfortunately, a large subset.
Last week I sat in a bar and watched leftists virtue signalling to each other. Talking about (and mimicing) punching actual Nazis. When one said "I don't actually want a military coup, but sometimes I wish we had a military coup" I asked did they not know we are in the middle of a military counter-coup right now. They blinked and changed the subject.

Nazis are actually lefties, even though themselves and other lefties try to deny it at any cost. When it comes to virtue-signalling, it does surprise me to see companies following this approach while trying to look cool in the eyes of left-leaning millenials who still rely on their conservative-minded and hard-working dads to pay all their expenses.

NEO conservatives and people far left of socialist always sound the same
Only difference between the two is the issue of government ownership of corporations or corporate ownership of government.
A Neo conservative also called a Nazi believes in corporate control or manipulation of government entities directly by business interests.
Seems the thing we fought is starting to take root here isn’t it?
We just give it a different name.

Under capitalism man exploits man, under communism it's the other way around.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_compass
I'll use the illustration from Wikipedia although I disagree with it. I put Libertarian at the top and authoritarian at the bottom.
Quote:
This chart proposed by the Political Compass Organisation, which extends from -10 to +10 on each axis, is one of several competing models.

When you add a cross-axis to the Left to Right paradigm, Svboda and Antifa fall to the bottom [top] together. They are no different.

Oh great! Another word to look up! So many calculations and research are expected here, plus rational arguments!
Edit: All-Ukrainian Union. The Ukrani Sailor I met at U.S. Army Warrior Leader Course never mentioned this.

Wasn't aware that that was what we were fighting against. Personally, I wouldn't mind that much if corporations controlled the government. They'd probably do a better job than the current (or recent) bunch of idiots, and they probably wouldn't see any profit in trying to control folks' personal morality.

(((social media)))
People rant about 'literal Nazis' but the tiki-torch blood and soil boyz are Svboda. Classical misdirection.
Ontopic: I used to ride in convoys.
