Evan: Hey, did you hear about the debate last night? I hear it got really intense when the candidates fought over how to address crime and government reform.
Simone: I know, but we can’t talk about that right now because we are in a political dry zone.
Evan: I have never heard of it. What is that?
Simone: It means this restaurant expects the people eating inside it to not discuss politics. If you don’t follow that rule, they will refuse to serve you and kick you out. This type of rule is often done to reduce stress on other people dining here and the restaurant’s employees and to help prevent violence confrontations by eliminating opportunities for intense disagreements to arise.
Evan: Okay then I’ll stop.

Get the political constipation mug.When you and another person come up to a path (like an intersection, a doorway, or a narrow hallway) where only one person can go, and you politely tell them to “go ahead” and they say “no, no, you go ahead” and then you both wait, and then go at the same time thinking that the other person will not concede, and you repeat this at least one more time.
Two drivers pull up to opposite sides of a 4-way stop at the same time. One is turning left, the other is going straight. The person going straight signals to left turn person to “go ahead”, while at the same time, the person turning left signals to the person going straight to “go ahead”. They signal back and forth and then wait, and eventually concede at the same time. They laugh and repeat the polite shuffle at least once more.

Get the Polite shuffle mug.Aka. P.D.S.; A major social and political problem where an individual to identify as being a supporter of one political party and or ideology, but then changes their identity and or ideology done often times to better align with their values and beliefs. Rather than accept their identity as being part of who they are and move on, the individual will strenuously deny that they ever had that identity and will overtly take political stances and mobilize on issues that are consistent with what their new political identity; in order to make their new identity seem more legitimate to themselves and other people and or to help them deal with the fact they feel embarrassed and or guilty because of their former political identity. People with this often times endure a lot of fear that people will not see them as being a legitimate supporter of the new political party and or ideology they use, emotional and mental restlessness caused by their belief they have to actively work to make up for their former identity, and or intense guilt for having their previous identity.
Marvin: Why does Stacy always seem to talk about politics. I understand that she is passionate about her beliefs, but she does not need to talk about it constantly.
Janet: I think she has political denial syndrome. If I’m recalling correctly, she used to be a republican, but after having some issues related to Trump’s actions and the capital riots her beliefs shifted to strongly favoring the democrats. Because of all the things the republicans did and the fact she had backed them in the past, she may feel that she has to make up for having that identity because she may feel indirectly responsible for what happened because she voted some of the politicians responsible for it. It could also be that she could be embarrassed by her former identity and her actively discussing her views is one of the ways she deals with discomfort.
Marvin: No offense, but, in a way, it almost sounds like she could need counselor or a good friend to talk to help her deal with her discomfort and stress if that is the case.
Janet: Yes, I think your right about that.
