"Yellow-dog Democrat" nghĩa là gì?


"Yellow-dog Democrat" = chó vàng dân chủ -> nghĩa là người ủng hộ cuồng nhiệt đảng Dân chủ, không bỏ phiếu cho bất kỳ ứng cử viên nào thuộc đảng Cộng hòa.

Ví dụ
Like most Southern Baptists, I knew nothing about Catholics, just enough to be uneasy (bực bội) when the Democrats nominated John Kennedy. One day my grandfather, the lifelong yellow-dog Democrat, told me, “I’m going to have to hold my nose and vote for Nixon.”

I mean, the idea of like a yellow dog Democrat comes from this deep sectional (cục bộ) heritage that's born of the aftermath (hậu quả) Civil War, civil rights, all that stuff. 

“I was a ‘yellow dog Democrat’ for many years because I did follow my father, I followed his lead,” Mendoza said.

Beyond her work within the school system, she dabbled in community theater, taught many courses at OLLI, and was a faithful (trung thành) volunteer at the Boykin Senior Center. She was always politically engaged and proud to call herself a "yellow dog Democrat."
