Pejorative term originally used to describe any supporter of former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. Although originally used by the political left to describe someone with narrow yet oxymoronically undefinable views, the word has since become a blanket term for 'idiot' used by both the political left and right.
"I think healthcare is fine the way it is."
"Oh, well, what specifically do you like about the current system?"
"I dunno."
"You're a freakin' Palinist. Go listen to Rush Limbaugh."
Someone that supports Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as a vice-presidential candidate in the November 2008 Presidential Elections. Palin has been heavily criticized because of her lack of experience and her own label of "hockey mom." She has also been scrutinized for her "BS" responses, referring to her essentially substance-less responses during the Vice-Presidential debate and various interviews. Her status as vice-president is significant because of her running mate John McCain's old age and the possibility of him passing away in office.
Palinists don't really have that much sense since Sarah Palin was only picked to further John McCain's attempt to reach out and gain the support of woman voters.
The practice of divulging stupidity through ones mouth, in the shrillished of tones, with an emphasis on accent and absolute confidence. Usually coupled with an inflated sense of megalomanical service.
If you come in contact with any palinists its recommended that you gently place an asshat ( see asshat) on he or she's head and back away slowly.
Do not go in the direction of Russia as the mother Palin has full view of this region.
I heard a girl at the bar saying she liked Trump, and she was kina like palinistic.
A palinista is a severe loyalist who still supports the failed 2008 VP candidate, denying all evidence and logic that she was a complete fool and humiliating disaster. They are mostly evangelical supporters of creationism and refuse all proven scientific knowledge. Their philosophy is "Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up".
When my father parroted the FOX Noise line that Grandpa John hit a home run in the selection of the VP for the 2008 republican presidential election, I told him that he hit a weak grounder right to the first baseman, and he refused to talk to me for a month. He will be a palinista until the day he dies.
