    Is someone participating in the gig economy a gigger?

    Is someone who believes in the existence of the Higgs boson a higger?

    Is someone who does Scottish dancing a jigger?

    Is someone who makes toupees a wigger?

    That said, context is everything. Any of those could easily be used to dog whistle racist slurs when used in the (in)appropriate context.

    And we all know there was fraud in the 2020 elections — not only did a few people vote GOP under the name of a dead relative, but there was an entire set of individuals who pretended to be electors to declare for the GOP when they didn’t actually win a state.

    100% proof of fraud. Nothing that would have changed the election outcome though.
