If you're a stranger in a strange land, you're almost always seen as a carpetbagger. And no history lesson on the post-Civil War South is truly the explanation for mistrust as rampant as I've seen in college campus and school ground cross-country.
But the term, the "original" carpetbagger, is an epithet post-facto to legitimise the whole "who're you and why haven't I seen you before".
And would you know... some of history's real carpetbaggers were Republicans.
