Yeah, I've seen/heard it mentioned before, but The Professional Left podcast brought it up again. I'm fairly certain I've heard them mention it over the years, multiple times.

Anyway, it provides convenient shorthand for something you just read/hear all the freaking time. It's like ever since I became politically aware, decades ago, it's been there, but hard to put a name to. I'm sure this goes way, way back to at least the 1950s: "The Democrats made the Republicans form the John Birch Society!"
