Political cockroach

Someone in politics who is weak yet somehow manages to be really difficult to get rid of. They have no loyalties or convictions and will change sides at the drop of a hat. As soon as the winds of power shift, they suddenly find themselves on the other side. They often leverage their position to parasitically leach off higher powers, usually for massive amounts of money.

Examples throughout history include:
-The Eastern Client Kings of the late Roman republic (Lydia, Thracia, Pontus, Cappadocia, etc.)
-The Boyars of 15th century Wallachia
-Qatar's government

Ariobarzanes III of Cappadocia is such a political cockroach.

Politically Conscious

When an individual is fully aware of what is happening in the government and society, what various individuals, organizations, businesses, social movements, and political parties’ agendas, beliefs, and actions are on numerous policy issues, as well as understanding how these beliefs and activities can affect them, their family, community, and various groups of individuals in society and mobilizing socially, financially, and politically when needed in effort correct actions that are unreasonably discriminatory towards certain groups, regardless of whether or not it is part of the social justice movements. It is important to realize that politically conscious people mobilize on a wider array of issues than people who identify as being politically woke; meaning there is a strong difference between how people who identify as being politically woke manifest and handle various social and political problems compared to people who identify as being politically conscious. Sometimes they choose not to take part of a particular social movement even while mobilizing on an issue that movement deals with because they realize that movement is prone to having certain problems that they find to be unreasonably discriminatory and or unethical.

Yasmine is aware of what is happening in the government and society, including what various business leaders and politicians are up to. They have mobilized on many occasions to try to correct social and political wrongs committed by the government, certain celebrities, and organizations. They mobilize on issues related to gender equality, LGBTQA rights, racial equality, disability rights, mental health, animal welfare, improving legal protections for deceased individuals, and increasing political diversity by trying to get more politicians from nonmainstream political parties elected. While they support the Me Too movement, they don’t back the Its on Us campaign because of the political bias that movement has. They consider themself to be politically conscious.

Politics and chill

Politics and chill is for 40 year olds enjoying Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton too much.

Guy,"Yo heard the elections lately?"

The girl hesitates.
Girl,"I know what you want"

Guy,"Wanna"

Girl screams!

Girl,"Politics and chill!"

And that is how Donald Trump was made, because The Girl found out the Boy was her brother,
and when Trump was born he was dropped on his head 14 times.

Political compass

The political compass is a political defining square, with four quadrants, with a questionnaire to identify you. As the political spectrum was quite unreflective of a lot of factors, they added a y/social axis to the current x/economic axis. A great example of why this is better than the plain old spectrum is France’s National front. It is often dubbed as “the far right party of France”, however, a lot of its economic policies are further left than the socialist party, so, it would give a lot more context to its beliefs. Authoritarianism tends to believe in government control, while libertarianism tends to believe in less government. Economic left tends to believe in spending more money and being open to progression, while conservatism tends to believe in cutting spending, and taking a cautious approach to progression. This has resulted in left wingers believing in equality and conservatism believing in hierarchy.

Where are you on the political compass?

Politically Inconvenient

These days, anything that approximates THE TRUTH, is fake news, anti-American, anarchistic or delusional.
COVID 19 hasn't miraculously disappeared, testing for COVID 19 doesn't increase case incidence, Hydroxychloroquine and the My Pillow guy do not have a PROVEN cure for COVID 19.
Tens of thousands of Americans have needlessly died from COVID 19 because of conspiracy theory bullshit, Q-fuckingAnon and executive branch indecisiveness and Trump-level corruption that exists right up until this very fucking moment.

So, who ya voting for?
Well, for me, Trump is Politically Inconvenient.
Yeah, me too.
