Get the A legitimate strategy! mug.The political scandal that erupted around Missouri Republican Todd Akin. Akin was the Republican nominee for the US Senate seat currently held by Democrat Claire McCaskill. Akin experienced severe backlash from a wide range of the political spectrum when he suggested on Fox News that women's bodies have the ability to prevent pregnancy during a "legitimate rape." The scandal is known as "legit-gate" after the Watergate scandal during the Nixon administration.
"Many think Akin won't be able to recover after legiti-gate."
"The effects of legiti-gate will ripple beyond Todd Akin and on to regional and perhaps national races."

Get the leftist cuck mug.A word that describes the leftist nature of the Urban Dictionary website. It points to the "leftist" political leanings on the site, whether by choice of the site and its administrators itself or by nature of the individuals who patron the site who post definitions with such leanings.
It is used to describe the phenomenon when you first open the Urban Dictionary website and see that all "words of the day" are disparagements against Republican or right-leaning public figures, complaints about voting, and traditional conservative sayings, among other things.
The reason this is the case is because it is the modus operandi of politically left-leaning individuals take to forums, social media, and any other online site that they can edit - such as Urban Dictionary, Wikipedia, or even Pintrest - to try and edit history or create a new history in which all information points the direction they want it to. For more information, read the book 1984 by George Orwell.

Person 1: Yo, I just visited Urban Dictionary and all of the current words of the day are stupid shit like "Trump Fluffer", "Trump Lung", "Voter Fatigue", "B.C.V.", and "Thoughts and Prayers".
Person 2: Yeah, that's Urban Leftionary making itself known.
Person 1: Why tho?
Person 2: Most likely because the people who patron the site are just leftists without any actual political clout, and this makes them angry. The goal of those on the political left is to create a regime in which people are shamed, ostracized, cancelled, or perhaps worse, over any idea, value, moral, tradition, or thought that could potentially be perceived as aggressive, racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, or hateful.
Person 1: But that don't make no sense doe... those definitions are connotatively hateful.
Person 2: Don't try to make any sense out of it, the left is the epitome of hypocrisy. It most often utilizes facism, hate speech, violence, and intolerance to achieve its goals.
Person 1: Sounds like they just want political and cultural power, and they no different.
Person 2: That's right. Most of them are impotent of any actual power, so they take to online forums and social media to band together as a group, because their ideas are generally useless and not based in reality unless other red-faced shouting people support them, upvote, like, or emoji them.
Person 1: Ahh, now I understand why Urban Leftionary is the way it is.

Get the Urban Leftionary mug.A left(ist)ish person is someone who shows traits of anti-capitalism and anti-oppression (leftism) while they may not necessarily be full on leftist or identity as such. This puts them between leftists and the centre-left.

Get the Legitimate Political Discourse mug.The mechanism by which radical leftist, anti-American, anti-capitalist, virtue signaling, race baiting, hyper-snowflakey, trigger warned, intellectually vapid purveyors of Social Justice and Identity Politics Dogma escape the scrutiny/skepticism/mocking/humiliation that they have rightly earned by plagiarizing and/or regurgitating fringe-left talking points, hot-button words and phrases like "White Supremacy", "White Privilege", ".........we will not allow _______ to come to ________ University and spew racist, sexist, misogynistic, xenophobic and transphobic......", "Hate Speech", "Whiteness as a Commodity", "Tangible Value of Whiteness", "Toxic Masculinity", "Gender Identity" and their most disgraceful example of rampant and offensive hypocrisy..........."Tolerance."
