LOYALIST, as a Marcos loyalist can be, and good and decent a citizen, as any good and decent citizen can be. To some people, the word “loyalist” connotes an irrational mind that cannot transcend personal biases, doggedly loyal to an entity, no questions asked.
This is the common perception held by people of so-called “loyalists.” On one hand they could be Marcosian “retardates,” derided by people who see in former President Ferdinand Marcos the personification of a ruthless dictator. On the other side are people who are also similarly derided as “yellowtards” or “dutertards” by those who belong to other camps.
