The question comes from a political context, but this is not a political question.
Lou Dobbs, of Fox Business, in reporting on Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Accord, is being quoted as saying that his viewers should love it merely because “Dimms, Globalists & the Enviro-left” hate it."
What’s a Dimm? Is this the new conservative hate word from Democrats? I’ve never seen or hear it before.
How do you know this is what he said, and the spelling? Where is it “quoted”, and how was it transcribed? The most obvious answer would seem to be that he said “Dems”.
“Dhimmi” is an Arabic word for an infidel who agrees to live under Islamic rule. In some Islamic countries, Jews and Christians were tolerated so long as they paid a fee to their Muslim overlords, and promised to be obedient.
Some modern right-wingers lob the word “dhimmi” at Westerners who strike them as too friendly to Islam. A “dhimmi” is to Islam as a “cuck” is to Mexicans.
