Do you really think I don't know what
to cry wolf means? Ten years ago, people like you could call someone a racist and observers would assume it was true or at least look into it. But today, after millions of baseless accusations, a wounded SJW calling someone a racist no longer results in people giving the accusation credence or bothering to investigate. That's a pretty textbook example of crying wolf.

For the dictionary dude you know that's not really what acolyte means, right? None of us know AOC or work with her campaign. It implies a degree of formal connection, assisting the clergy and whatnot, it's more like apprentice with a religious overtone.
Do you really think I don't know what
acolyte means? It refers to a devotee, and yes, the religious connotation underscores the cult-like mentality you have for AOC. I just typed "Sanders acolytes" into Google since I was sure there would be results using it to refer to dedicated political followers (although not necessary people who work with him personally or are literally altar attendants, which is one of the older definitions). Let's have a look:
First page Google results—here's on from
The Atlantic:
Does Donald Trump actually have a shot to win the votes of one-time Sanders acolytes?
And from
PBS:
Sanders acolytes who have been swept in by his lofty promises and pledges of “political revolution” said they wanted a candidate they connected with, expressing frustration with the idea that they should vote for Clinton...
Collins dictionary's primary definition is "a follower or attendant."
Random House's third definition (after its more literal religious ones) is "any attendant, assistant, or follower."
And those are the only two dictionaries I checked. Not only is it not misused to describe the AOC acolytes in this thread, it's eminently appropriate, and its alliterative aspect with
AOC seems to betoken divine endorsement.
So it looks like your attempt at intellectualism against one of your betters kind of blew up in your face. Sorry about that—learn for next time. And sorry that my accurate labeling has caused you such deep wounds that you chose to stray off topic to try to pick apart my diction.

Again, you lack the intellectual wattage to successfully reference the parable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. So yes, everyone else is more qualified to opine. You're trailer trash with a ****ing trust fund, never forget that.
No trust fund. Not trailer trash. Again, you have no idea who I am, but your posting indicates I make you feel inferior so you lash out with failed attempts to show you're smarter than I am. I guess now I can see why you usually just employ the tactic of calling everyone racist; surprisingly that's less embarrassing.
And Trolly, sorry for "cross-checking" your boy so hard here, but you have to admit he deserved it.
