Anarchists tend to be smart enough to not use the word tankie.

There are exceptions of course.

That's been my only exposure to the term, is hearing/seeing anarchists say it. Do liberals really use that term?

Liberals do use it since "commie" lost its zing. Go to any reddit thread where somebody is speaking sense and there'll be a liberal going "don't listen to him, I saw his history and he's a tankie", likewise with any Facebook thread when some blue no matter who page says something profoundly silly
