Portmanteau of “Austin” (TX) and “
Autism.”
An Austist is a
person on the political left who is neurologically incapable of civil discourse, and who screeches autistically in response to scientific consensus, professional
opinion, differing world view, etc.
“
Melissa and
Ryan think that vaccines cause
Autism, that GMOs are evil, and that crystals have healing powers. They are also raising their children genderless. No, they are not scientists; they are Austists. Don't laugh when they screech. Austism is no laughing matter.”
