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.

Get the Quail Bipartisan Politics mug.1: A phrase used to refer to how a specific political ideology or the beliefs of a particular political party has changed over time
An example of political evolution would be the Republican’s views on environmental issues. In the past, Republicans used to take a more aggressive approach by actively making policies and laws that would protect the environment from harm as you can observe based on the work done by U.S. President Richard Nixon. As time passed, as demonstrated by the work of U.S. President Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan, Republicans shifted to strongly favoring deregulation and eliminating or weakening environmental protections.

Get the political clown mug.Someone who makes politics their entire social identity, and won’t shut the fuck up about politics. Generally, they hate whoever espouses beliefs stemming from a party not of their own.
Don’t talk to Karen, she’s a political parasite, and will be fervently listening to every word you say, and will try to destroy your happiness based on that which she doesn’t agree. Tom is the same way, even though he’s on the opposite end of the political spectrum.
