Interesting that it made it to the MSM so quickly. There are a a lot of weird internet slang terms out there, few ever have articles in the capitols leading paper written about them.
To: Jack Black
It made it there because, like "fracking", it sounds almost like a swearword and can be used as a pejorative if the tone is right.
Incidentally, the first example they used is Trump. I guess they needed something that sounded bad to use against him.

First, I thought the media thought cuckolded men were the best men, with that stupid article a few days ago about the man who let his wife whore herself out to every guy on the block, and how that was so evolved.
But now, you see, it's bad, you see, because it's a "conservative" (which Trump is not).
This is Alinksy: "Use their own rules against them."

Not so much. It’s just something the racist fringe is pushing.

The HomocratsI like "Gay Mafia", who through donations become "Homocrats".
Man on the street thinks 40% of the adult population is gay, for example.
The gay media mafia is working.
Reality: 2%.

The Washington Post is bleeding out credibility every day.
This is what they consider news. No wonder they are going broke.

It works best when the leftist public schools intentionally dumb down the population over the last 40 years.

It was Trump supporters using the term against his conservative critics.
To: Jack Black
Actually, this is a term originally associated with Reddit and the chans. When confronted by an obvious beta-male (like the guy in the Post or Times the other day who wrote about letting his wife sleep with other men so that he didn’t try to “own” her sexuality), the redditors (and other “s**tlords”; their term of endearment for like-minded non-politically correct folks) refer to those whipped males derisively as “cucks.” So this term, I believe, is referring to the GOPe huevos-lacking beta-males who we also deride as having no spine.
As the boys at the chans would say, “Top kek!”
To: Charles H. (The_r0nin)
One thing your post demonstrates to me is that there is a lot of stuff out there on the interwebs I don't know anything about.
Reddit? I have heard of it, once. "Chans"?? No idea. "Top kek!" Clueless.
But I certainly know what a cuckold is, and it's an apt description of a lot of GOP politicians. As you so nicely put it "GOPe huevos-lacking beta-males who we also deride as having no spine." .
I think some of the people scanning this post may have missed that the term was not created by the 'tards, but by the dissident right.
Donald Trump might not be a conservative, but he's clearly also not a cuckservative. Lindsey Graham, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, George Pataki? If the shoe fits...

“Cuckservative” and “teabagger” are examples of the left compulsively sexually harassing members of the right.

Cuckservative is a term created by one faction of the right to poke at another faction of the right. It has more in common with "RINO" than "teabagger".
Teabagger, as a term, describes an obscene act and is a pure slur, it has nothing to do with what the Tea Party is all about. It's a crude epithet. It's not much different than calling democrats "A**H***S" compulsively.
Where as being "cuckolded" is really about lacking the self-respect to stand up for yourself and deal with intolerable forthrightly. That's a on target.
But I agree it is a sort of "sounds nasty" word. Someone above mentioned 'fracking'. Like that it has an appeal as vaguely transgressive without being actually a crude sexual profanity, as "teabagging" is.

David Weigel and his editor should buy a dictionary. They are clueless of the true definition of ‘cuckold’.
