Trumpy Bear

An individual who knows just enough about politics to repeat a talking point, but not enough to debate political issues from a neutral point of view. This is proven when they try to elaborate and defend their talking point.

"I feel like I'm babysitting these Trumpy Bears, because when I try to explain anything they fall back to the language that Limbaugh gave them, that even they themselves don't even understand."

Alpha

A person who doesn't handle failure well. Instead of recognizing one's limitations to take an effort to grow oneself, this "alpha" copes with their limitations by adopting a foolish value system that is based on the observations of David L. Mech of wolves (not "African dogs", wolves) in captivity. He has since denounced that his discoveries applies to humans, because humans -- outside of prison -- do not live in captivity. In the wild, this same species of wolves have only the parent/child paradigm rather than this "alpha" crap that insecure men have adopted like it's their DC/Marvel comics super power, when their only "super power" is denial of the truth.

Therefore, an alpha is a person who does not handle failure well.

"I knew that you called yourself 'alpha' when you were rude to your waitress."

cheesing

"Stop cheesing, noob! You know your only kills on me have all been blind grenades!"

American conservatism

A political movement whose only uniting principle is an unwillingness to believe that humans are capable of being concerned for someone other than themselves. Typical of moral cowards, they begin with preferable, comforting conclusions before deciding on how to frame an issue to fit that conclusion, if they aren't merely accepting these instructions from Fox News, AM talk radio, shock/cringe message boards, etc.

See also: psychopathy.

Who knew that those affiliated with American conservatism has such a history of corruption and dodging of accountability as a basis for policy? Ex. Their response to ramped defense spending in response to 9/11 was to cut taxes for the rich.
