Milquetoast refers to an unassertive and spineless person who can be easily intimidated or dominated.

The term comes from a character in Harold T. Webster's 1924-1953 New York Herald Tribune comic strip The Timid Soul. The character's name was Caspar Milquetoast, and Webster described him as “the man who speaks softly and gets hit with a big stick”.[1]

Liberals exploit and capitalize on the existence of milquetoast personalities in schools, corporations and other institutions in order to push their agenda.
