      I’m not American and I could see what EC meant by context. But it’s cool to ask and learn.
      Regarding the ‘Donvict’, yeah - kinda stupid. I think these types of name calling are immature. But even more annoyingly, they do seem to work especially on the mouth breathers who might vote for trump. It’s just an association/feeling for them, so logic is irrelevant and these stupid word games can actually sink in. And ‘convict’ is also a verb. And it also raises the mental image of a ‘convicted’ person.
