Right. But that just means you shouldn't give a shit about making the name look nice for conservatives. They're going to oppose it anyway, so might as well be inflammatory and get the most attention.
It also helps liberals (or moderates, however few remain) who haven't encountered the phrase before get on board more easily so that you don't spend time fighting your own allies.
Maybe, but being inflammatory gets you in the news so that moderates hear about it in the first place, which is where you get the chance to explain the true meaning.
