Quote:“An AWFUL (Affluent White Female Urban Liberal) is dead after running her car into an ICE agent who opened fire on her,” Erik Erickson, a conservative commentator, posted on X January 7. “Progressive whites are turning violent. ICE agents have the right to defend themselves.”

The acronym has spread on social media, with one user describing it as “the most precisely accurate acronym ever written.” Another wrote: “AWFUL (affluent white female urban liberal) should be avoided at all costs. They will ruin men’s lives just like they’re ruining western civilization.”
