    **Cringeworthy and cringe are pretty obviously related and the obvious etymology is that one is a shortening of the other. People used this short form by at least 2010 by my recollection. I realize you were in first grade then and may have missed it.

    Actual MAGAs often use commie or communist to denote anyone not in their white nationalist nazi fanclub. This is cringeworthy because they so obviously don’t understand what words mean and they splash their ignorance all over the page.

    Although you don’t share the actual offensive characteristics you are in the same fashion using MAGA, which is to say a virtually illiterate nazi stooge, to paint anyone who you don’t like. This is somewhat gross and poor communication. What you actually mean is that you are both OLD and incapable of adopting new language. Must be pretty sad.
