So many of Rump's statements are Power of Positive thinking wishcasting. And too many centerists and even progressives allow it too mess with their perceptions of reality. It plays into his hands and imbues him with power he would not legitimately otherwise have.

FWIW, the humanoids in the film "The Creation of the Humanoids" (1960) were slurred as "Clickers"
Sidenote: IMHO, "The Creation of the Humanoids" while very low-budget is a very underrated sci-fi movie.
