Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm.$WHACKD available only on https://t.co/HdSEYi9krqpic.twitter.com/rJ0Vi2Hpjj
“McAfee’s not dead, my cousin’s barber’s uncle saw him on an island beach during an Ayahuasca retreat!” They will say.
“He faked his death and now holds secret wake board chariot races using experimental coke dolphins off the coast of Columbia.” Others will say.

He was way only six months older than me. My siblings used to (and rarely but sometimes still do) call me Biz because of this sort of thing, although I'm not as good at it:
a. Just to nitpick, that'd be abstract adjectives: authoritarian, conservative, fascist, pro-Apartheid, bigoted.
b. See a. above. It's not so much a difference as a mainstream media euphemism for "determined to remain a complete asshole about it for his entire life."

That's some top-notch nit-picking! I had thought about it, but in the front of my mind I had the phrase "staunch Republican"* which is what piqued my interest in the phrase here. "Republican" being an abstract noun, having checked it fitted the required "staunchly ..." format I was content to go with "noun", having missed the fact that in the latter case it was functioning as its adjectival alter-ego.
* As a celebrated New Yorker cartoon observes, there is no other kind of Republican.
I regret that I was unable to find a video of the Spitting Image song We Got Beards (which includes the line "Except for him" because Frank Beard doesn't have a beard).
When I was a young teen I believed all politicians were disingenuous slimeballs, so when a local politician came to visit the school for "troubled youths" I was enrolled in I made a "pfft" sound and turned my back when he reached out to shake my hand. As it turns out he seems to have been pretty decent so I kinda regret it.
