A person willing to befriend any person regardless of race, creed, gender, sexuality or socioeconomic status in the relationship benefits them directly or indirectly by improving their public image. A pure opportunist may be a sociopath, if not they will possess sociopathic qualities. They are not to confused with a scammer or charlatan whose purpose in the moment is a singular task and is not concerned with allegations or their reputation. The opportunist always plays the long-con even if the actions are not scandalous it is still a con due to the fact the motivation is to always position one self to be able to capitalize on any future unforeseen opportunities without attracting suspicion. The opportunist is a illusionist and a mechanic who has a deck full of trump cards and can deal off the boom of the deck.

Someone who takes advantage of situations and people to get what they want. They put material and superficial things above people, and their wants over the needs of others. In a way, many politicians are also opportunists because they take advantage of the socially downtrodden to shove socialism and more government down our throats.
An opportunist is a dngerous person and should never be trusted.
