Politically extinct

A: When an individual or group ceases all political activity and never becomes politically active again
B: A situation where a particular political ideology or party has so little support that it is seldom mentioned or discussed in political interactions; regardless of whether those interactions are held in public or in private

An example of a political party that is politically extinct is the Whig Party. It began going extinct in the early 1850s while trying to recover from the presidency of Franklin Pierce. It was trying to form platform to run on in future elections, but they were unable to form an effective platform and over time they began losing large amounts of support to the point at which the party eventually collapsed.

politically Chinese

Term used by Hongkonger/Taiwanese/whomever finds it applicable, to answer the question "Are you Chinese?" or its variants asked by Westerners in hope of preventing unnecessary misunderstandings and ultimately the heat death of the universe.

American : "Hey man nice to meet ya, you Japanese Korean or Chinese?"

Hongkonger : "I am politically Chinese."

American : "Bruh what?"

HongKonger : "Basically I can read, write, and speak Chinese, like Chinese food, enjoy most types of Chinese art, but detest the bullshit dished out by the CCP nowadays to the point I generally don't want to call myself Chinese even though doing so would be politically correct hence the name. However I am pretty certain if I answered that I am a Hongkonger you are going to ask "So are you Chinese or not?" "Can you speak Chinese or not?" anyways, and create a paradox that is going to rip through time and space, accelerating particles to beyond the speed of light and resulting in immediate heat death of the universe."

American : "Bruh what"

Political camouflage

1: The unreasonable expectation by mainstream society that supporters of nonmainstream political parties must conform to the goals, expectations, and norms established by the mainstream political parties, the Republicans and Democrats, and accept that those parties’ agendas and priorities are supposedly more important theirs is in order to fit in. This often leads to lack of imagination when dealing with various political issues and designing policies, which can render a lot of policies ineffective.
2: A camo pattern that always has blue and red, sometimes with two or more of the following colors, which are white, grey, and or black. These patterns are used to indicate opposition to the suppression of nonmainstream political parties; as well as indicate you support the nonmainstream political parties, such as the Reform Party, Pirate Party, Libertarian Party, Alliance Party, and Constitution Party.
3: A camouflage pattern that uses certain colors which are used to represent a specific political party. Usually, it is done to show support for a nonmainstream political party.

Sophia: Hey. Earl that is a nice colorful shirt you’re wearing. Where did you get that?
Earl: It is a political camouflage shirt, which is used to show opposition to the political suppression of nonmainstream political parties. I had to custom order this from a special company online that lets you put your own designs on the product.
Sophia: Nice.

Hey Mark, I know we're on the losing end of the scoreboard, but it's important to stay pogitive in moments like this to persevere in the end. I know we can do it with a little bit more pogitivity.

Politically primitive

An adjective used to describe when someone holds political views that tend to be out of date compared to other people’s beliefs

Brian thinks that U.S. should rely more on coal to fulfill its energy needs, even though coal is known to be a major environmental pollutant and can be very hazardous to the miners’ health. Most people support trying to fill more of the U.S. energy needs using renewable energy in order to be more sustainable and reduce our reliance on foreign powers to address our energy based needs. His views on energy use are politically primitive.
