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 Cinematic Universe

1. A soyjak’s Marvel-tier obsession with treating politics like the next Avengers saga, where voting for the "lesser evil" is the ultimate NPC quest. Features endless reboots (elections), zero character development (career politicians), and post-credit scenes (news cycles) teasing the next "most important election of our lives."

2. When normies LARP as "freedom fighters" by doomscrolling headlines, stanning blue-check politicians, and arguing online like they’re in the Capitol Hill version of Endgame. Spoiler: Thanos (the deep state) always wins.

"Dave spent 4 hours debating midterm polls on Reddit, fully immersed in the Political Cinematic Universe. Meanwhile, his life’s still mid, his 401k’s dead, and his wife’s boyfriend says ‘vote harder.’"

Politics

Where people cyberbully and threaten to dox you if you don't support either side.

Person A, commenting: I think both sides are atrocious.
Person B: Well, stop being a fence-sitter. I hope you don't like your personal information being personal.
Person A, telling their friend about the incident: Great, I said one little thing and I'm getting doxxed.
Person C: That's politics for ya.

political superposition

The act of claiming subscription to a specific political group while also supporting ideas that contradict or undermine that political group. Usually those engaged in political superposition will not directly voice their contradictions, favoring implicit, vague, or contradictions by consequence. When they do contradict, it will be in the absence of any mention of their political affiliation until someone points out that their ideas contradict their political group, which results in the person falling back on their facade of affiliation. Political superposition is merely the aesthetic of a political movement or group.

Ben Shapiro - "I am a libertarian"
Also Ben Shapiro -"God says gay people bad so make them illegal."
Other guy -"Nice political superposition, your theocratic ideas contradict the core tenets of libertarianism"
Ben Shapiro -"I am a libertarian tho"
