A supporter or follower of Gaullism or the political ideas of Charles de Gaulle, emphasizing French independence and national strength.
From 'Gaullism' + '-ist' (suffix denoting adherents of an ideology). Follows the pattern of political ideologies like 'socialist' or 'communist,' where '-ist' marks someone who believes in the system.
Gaullists in modern France range from left to right politically—they're unified not by class or economics but by believing France should be independent and powerful, making Gaullism more of a nationalism than a traditional left-right ideology.
