Get the Ghost Dater mug.A politician or media personality who continuously discusses extremists and extreme positions about public policy or cultural values so as to help slide a metaphorical "window" of acceptance over views what were once considered radical and far outside the mainstream.

#WTL is a common hashtag used on Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks, often used in the question, "What's the #WTL?"
