Deflection

Share definition
When politicians come under fire for missteps or failures, they often rely on the technique of trying to shift the focus onto others. In an attempt to duck responsibility, scrutiny, accountability, they often create "scapegoats" to shift blame onto. They try to lay their failures at the feet of others or make a way to justify them. They may try to shift the debate entirely onto a completely irrelevant and different subject. One example is to make a drastic decision that completely shifts focus from the previous subject of scrutiny onto this new drastic change or subject brought into light by the government. Seen commonly by politicians and on a less refined level , regular people supporting a political party or figure in arguments or debates, or as a psychological attempt to manipulate others in regular domestic situations. In politics the tactic is entirely strategic and is arguably one of the most devious and disreputable in the eyes of honest morality and accountability, but is quite common in politics around the world.
When Soviet leaders were questioned about human rights violations in the USSR, for example, they might've come back with, "Well, what about the Negroes that you Americans are lynching in the South?" - One example of a political deflection

1. Slang phrase that refers to smoking cannabis buds from a bong or bong derivative **Not to be confused with "chasing the dragon" (opium substances)**

2. It can be used also to refer to that elusive first beautiful Marijuana euphoria one has experienced in their 1st MJ smoke that constantly eludes one thereafter and one continues to "chase the green dragon" but never catches it.
After work I am going to chase the green dragon and feel GOOD.

I have been chasing the green dragon for years since I was 18 , but I cannot catch it . Its a bummer.

The View

Share definition
A daytime television show with a panel mixed of celebrity women and journalists who discuss mostly politics and news. Airs on ABC in USA and in Canada on affiliated networks to ABC. They tend to get really obnoxious and gross to listen to. They spew a large portion of opinion and empty comments without knowledge. If you really want to learn about politics read books and essays from political philosophers , theorists, or sociologists. Socialism-Communism read books from Karl Marx (marxism), Engels, Vladimir Lenin (Leninism), or Mao Zedong. Democracy "Enlightenment" read books from Smith, Locke, De Tocqueville, Hobbes or Rousseau. Anarchism read books from Noam Chomsky,Benjamin Tucker, Mikhail Bakhunin, William Godwin, Proudhon, Kropotkin, Ellul, or Emma Goldman. SO MANY MORE famous thinkers out there I haven't listed for all these political theories and thoughts on politics . Do not waste another minute of your life on this brainless show of idiotic women screaming nonsense.
"The View" truly is a blind view.
