Good Open Minded Person
(noun)
An attention-craving individual that -- in an issue or debate -- takes whatever side makes him or her look good & open-minded to the public, without regard to the details or the truth in the issue debated. A GOMP is different from an SJW because the issue does not have to be social.
(verb)
To make a public statement on an issue without really understanding the details or the truth of the issue, just to show off to the world how good & open-minded one is.
