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!"

political skidmark

A person who hears a political sound bite and tries to proffer a cogent argument with no other data to support his claim. Typically a Kool-Aid drinker, a poseur, trying to impress who inevitably falls flat on his ass.

"You called him a war monger, give me an example". "He likes war". "You are such a political skidmark!"

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.
