Political cosmetics

When stories, logotypes or names, which have been known for years, are edited in order to suit contemporary political tastes. Examples include scenes in movies being modified or cut entirely, changes to the language used or replacement of characters.
- Did you hear they've cut the crows of out Disney's Dumbo?
- Sure. I also heard they're removing the black man from the logo on Uncle Ben's products.
- It's very inclusive and progressive. By changing the name of that football team from Washington, we've basically made up, in part, for the treatment that native americans had to endure in the past.
- Not sure that's true. It seems more like political cosmetics due to recent pressure from activists.

accusation politics

Defending shortcomings of a political position or public figure by accusing the opposition of the same. The implication being that their opponent is a hypocrite and therefore can’t levy the criticism.
A: Donald Trump has a terrible track record with women: he paid a pornstar hush money, has been known to walk into the dressing room of underage women, is caught on tape talking about grabbing women by the pussy, and has more than 20 outstanding sexual assault allegations.
B: You can’t talk when the Democrats elected Bill Clinton.
A: Stop with the accusation politics, those are not even close to the same thing.

political hopscotch

When someone responds to an article/headline/meme and gives a knee jerk response based on what they think their political tribe wants to hear.
Last week Karen said Trump should get impeached because he incited violence, but if you look at her tweets, she said violence during BLM is justified. She's playing political hopscotch.

Political Intelligence

The capacity to recognise that politics is more nuanced and complicated than most people make it out to be as well as the ability to come to, express, and debate one's own beliefs and opinions with critical thinking while keeping composure when others disagree.
"Dude Kyle blocked me for saying that socialism isn't just when the government does something you don't like."
"Bro Karen called me racist for laughing at a Pepe meme."
"Those two really have no Political Intelligence, anyway lets go back to watching Jreg and posting on r/PoliticalCompassMemes!"

the Political Underdog Squad

abbreviation: P.U.S.; The only members of the U.S. Congress to belong to nonmainstream political parties or registered as independent for a long period of time between 1971- 2021. They are Representative James Stanton, Senator Bernard Sanders, Senator Angus King Jr., Senator James Jeffords, Delegate Victor Frazer, Resident Commissioner Baltasar Corrada, Senator Harry Byrd Jr., Senator Dean M. Barkley, and Representative Justin Amash. All of them were independent, but Justin Amash changed to a Libertarian during his last year in office due to the barrage of partisan bickering from the Republicans and Democrats, which he was the first Libertarian to have held a seat in congress.
Why does the Political Underdog Squad matter so much? Because these politicians are the only politicians in Congress, over a fifty year period, be members nonmainstream political parties, which helps to keep the two mainstream parties in check.
