partisan

Tính từ[C] Đếm được

Số nhiều: partisans

This term carries a heavy weight of bias and exclusivity. It describes a mindset where loyalty to a specific group overrides neutrality or objective truth. While a supporter might be enthusiastic, a partisan is often perceived as rigid or unwilling to compromise, creating a sharp divide between us and them. In modern political discourse, the word frequently suggests a state of polarization. It evokes the image of a soldier in a political war, where the goal is not consensus but the victory of one's own faction over the opposition.

Countable when referring to an individual person who is a loyal follower.
