Virtue signaling is what Taylor Swift does a lot. Pretends to be on LGBT side by making songs "supporting" them but it was just to get more album sales, pretends to care about the environment but literally uses her private jet for a 20 mile trips and pretends to be all about women empowerment and supporting other women but she bullied Katy Perry and made a song about Katy (Bad Blood ) and had like 20 celebs in that music video. She is the poster child for virtue signaling

I mean I do think despite the reason the term exists, it has merit.

Like I often think Japan higher ups for example comes down heavily on drug use/possession (Even if it's not say drinking/driving or giving drugs to minors) cause they want to look like they care about maintaining order and drugged up people are easier to deal with.

Or to turn it back directly on Republicans, many who due to religion or not who object to LGBTQ+ on "moral" grounds, but anyone caring to examine the person will see actual sins.

It's just another term for bragging or lip service about moral superiority

They did. I don't know about here - I just popped over here today. But The Economist (not exactly a liberal rag) absolutely called out the antics of folks like Kim Reynolds and Ron DeSantis, using the very term "virtue signaling" (specifically referring to virtue signaling to their respective bases).

That's good, however I agree with ellis in that it's certainly not in wide usage against right-wingers and hte average person has undoubtedly heard it used against lefties/libs/progressives far more often.
