MacGrubernatorial election

A bu**s**t head-of-state-choosing brouhaha where all of da major candidates are bungling idiots.

A chief-of-da-capitol contest between da Three Stooges and Inspector Clouseau would represent a classic MacGrubernatorial election.

Post Traumatic Election Disorder

A new disorder whereby voters of the losing electoral party experience deep depression, grieving, mental anguish, anger, hysteria, disbelief, and in some extreme cases violence such as such as riots, protests, hate graffiti, and physical assault directed towards the winning political party and its members.

Many liberal Democrats experienced Post Traumatic Election Disorder when Donald Trump, a Republican, won the election for President of the United States.

Psychology of Elections

The study of how individuals and crowds behave during the peculiar ritual of choosing leaders—from the psychology of voting (why we vote even when our vote doesn't matter) to the psychology of campaigns (why attack ads work) to the psychology of election night (why results feel like sports scores). Elections are psychological pressure cookers: months of anxiety, hope, and fear compressed into a single day, then released in euphoria or despair. The psychology of elections explains why campaigns focus on turnout (enthusiasm matters more than persuasion), why last-minute events can shift outcomes (undecided voters are psychologically distinct), and why losing feels catastrophic even when life continues unchanged (elections become identity contests, and identity loss hurts).

Example: "She studied the psychology of elections while working on a campaign, watching voters react emotionally to policy, personally to candidates, tribally to every attack. The election wasn't about issues; it was about feelings. Her candidate won because they made people feel hope. The policy details came later, for the few who cared."

Sociology of Elections

The study of how elections function as social rituals—how they mobilize populations, create collective experiences, and produce legitimate outcomes (or fail to). Elections are not just technical processes; they're social events that bring societies together, create temporary communities of interest, and generate enormous emotional energy. The sociology of elections examines who votes and why (class, race, age, religion), how campaigns mobilize supporters (through organizations, networks, messages), and how outcomes are interpreted (as mandates, as repudiations, as fraud). It also examines what happens when elections fail to produce legitimacy—when losers don't accept results, when institutions are distrusted, when the social agreement that makes democracy possible breaks down. Elections work when society works; when society fractures, elections can break it further.

Example: "She studied the sociology of elections after a contentious vote, watching how different social groups experienced the same event completely differently. For some, it was validation; for others, theft. The election hadn't created these divisions; it had revealed them. Democracy required agreement on the process, and that agreement was gone."
