When public servants are easily fooled by baseless conspiracy theories of voter fraud and engage in fascist attempts to undermine the most basic steps of the democratic process. Coined in the memory of Norman Shinkle, the GOP stooge on the Michigan Board of Canvassers who tried to disenfranchise millions of people at the behest of a president who had sour grapes that he lost.
Frank: "Did you see that Veronica won the election?"
Rachel: "Yeah she did, but there was some norm-shinkling at the election certification meeting. Monica from the losing side said that flying monkeys burned ballots and spit in the faces of the poll watchers, so none of our votes count anymore"
Frank: "Oh, that sucks"
Rachel: "Yeah I guess the social contract that made us a democracy broke down over nothing, too bad."
Frank: "All hail OneState!"

Shinkle. verb.
To fail to do one's legal duty because of conspiracy theories.
The term derives from Norm Shinkle's 15 minutes of fame as a Republican member of the four member Michigan State Board of Canvassers who's job was merely to recognize the counties election results as certified but took hours of many public servants time to investigate, without legal authority, multiple conspiracy theories that had already been rejected by courts and employing a double standard in minor voting irregularities between predominantly black and white precincts.

County Heath Department Restaurant Inspector: I probably should cite you for this complaint and your not requiring masks during this pandemic, but meh, I think it is a democratic hoax. I'm just gonna Shinkle this report.
