Political tightrope

A gesture to how difficult it can be to try to balance pursuing your own and your party’s goals with people with pleasing enough of your constituents to get reelected

Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect

A major political and social issue that arises when during election season, Republicans and Democrats have more access to the media, public relations professionals, and have more education and training on how to effectively campaign in political elections than nonmainstream political parties have, which results in the Republicans in Democrats winning more elections than nonmainstream political parties. Many members of the general public have been conditioned by the mainstream political parties to believe this is acceptable when in fact it is not. The best way to address this problem is actively work to ensure that nonmainstream political parties have more access to the media, p.r. professionals, and education on how to effectively run a political campaign.
The Political Mainstream Supremacy Effect has been around for many years and over time has had a very heavy, negative impact on the political diversity found in governments in all levels of jurisdiction all over the U.S.

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.

Also Ben Shapiro -"God says gay people bad so make them illegal."

Ben Shapiro -"I am a libertarian tho"

Politically christian

A person that identifies themselves as a Christian but doesn’t actually follow Jesus’s teachings of love, compassion or helping those in need, instead only as a way to justify their far-right political beliefs. These political beliefs can be argued to go directly against many of Jesus’s teachings. They often advocate for or practice homophobia, patriarchy and racism ”in the name of god”.
