libtard
Derogatory political slur
Libtard is a derogatory term blending "liberal" and "retard," used to mock someone perceived as holding naive or irrational left-wing political views.
The insult implies mental deficiency and is common in online political discourse: The comments section was full of people calling each other libtards.
The term is offensive both for its political contempt and its use of disability as mockery.
