LOL, we're taking the "borg" reference quite seriously here, aren't we? The "hive mind" concept is something that's main stream enough that people could pick up on it. It's a theory taught to kids in science classes. It's mentioned in documentaries, fictional books, and even the Bee Movie. I didn't think you guys would hang on the trekie reference, but I guess that works for a lot of people too.
After some consideration, MHO is that the hive mind is too self-sacrificing of a model. The lefties don't start up social programs for the good of their intended constituents, despite mouthed intentions. It's mainly a play for power and securing that power. I'd say their more like crack dealers than a benevolent queen trying to make sure her spawn continue on.
Lefties are more than happy to give away other people's money and call it "charity" or "redistribution of wealth." (I have never heard a more unAmerican phrase than the latter.) Their programs are purposefully designed to undermine individual accountability, advancement, and responsibility, making targeted demographics depend on them.
Perhaps we should go for something along the lines of democrackmongers, or puppedealers. Looking for a play on the phrases "crack dealers" and "puppet masters"...
