Political correctness

A phrase that alt-right assholes use when told that they're being an asshole when they call someone a nigger.

Fox news viewer: Those filthy BLM people are a bunch of niggers.

Guy: that's racist

Fox news viewer: I'm so sick of your Political correctness you snowflake.

political edging

Political edging is the practice of enjoying taking yourself, or being brought, to the point where you think an election is almost over, and a candidate is about to be chosen, then stopping or being stopped, before reaching the peak in which a candidate would be chosen.

This week has been fodder for the political edging I like to do at least once very four years.

Political insanity

1: The chaos associated with politics
2: A perception problem where an individual's abilities to tell what is and is not real, tell right from wrong, and control their emotions are impaired because of how an individual's views and expectations about the world around them and other people's behavior are strongly shaped by their political ideology. They tend not to respect other people's opinions.

1: There is always so much political insanity occurring during election season, because the politicians always fight over things that tend to be quite pointless to the extent where it becomes annoying.
2: Marco tends to have a big issue with political insanity. He never listens to other people's views on politics and keeps asserting that they are wrong.

Political Culture Shock

A social situation that arises when an individual moves to a new location they have not previously lived in and finds that the political climate from where they previously lived and the political culture of the new area they moved into are completely different from each other. Some issues that accompany this situation include anxiety, discomfort, identity conflicts, homesickness, confusion, frustration, anger, language barriers, generational differences in terms of views on various political topics, and differences in terms of where, when, and how people in that area think about and discuss politics.

Kailani: What’s wrong with that guy in corner? He seemed to be very anxious when I was speaking to him about politics and does not seem to be very mindful of his tone when speaking about his views.

Sarah: I think he moved here three to four weeks ago; he is probably suffering from political culture shock. He is probably struggling to get used to the political climate around, which it may take him a while to get used to it.

Kailani: I see.

Political Alignment Association Approach

An approach used by individuals who have very strong political beliefs for forming and maintaining their social circles. Basically, an individual will only be friends with people who are the same political identity and beliefs as them. The same holds true often times when they are deciding whether or not to date a particular person. This approach often causes the people who use to have a very strong political favoritism towards a specific political party and or political ideology. In some cases, they develop a strong intolerance for other political ideologies and parties, which sometimes can lead to unnecessary violence towards other individuals and societal groups who they perceive as having a different political ideology then their own.

Kelsey: Am I the only one that think its odd that all of Chuck's friends are Republicans?
Anna: Yes, I noticed that too. Its kind of strange if you ask me.
Emily: He is probably using the Political Alignment Association Approach when dealing with his social circle, because I know he is a very far right Republican and he does not seem to like me due to the fact I support feminism.
Anna: You should be careful Kelsey. If Chuck finds out you're a Democrat, he may start a yelling match or worse. He has had a history of violence in the past.
Kelsey: I'll keep that in mind.

Political climate

The various political opinions and ideologies, as well as people’s overall opinion of the government and the numerous political parties that are active at the time, held by the numerous populations and subpopulations in a specific society in a specific geographical location, which can vary in terms of scale. Political climate can be observed on the local level, county level, state level, regional level, national level, and international level. Political climate can be impacted by various demographic factors such as the amount of ethnic diversity the population has, which religions are the most commonly practiced in that area, how densely populated the area is, the atmospheric climate the area they are in has, particularly what types of natural hazards are they most prone to have, the socioeconomic conditions like in that area, how well educated the people in that area are, etc.

The national political climate is moving to support more liberal policies, including police reform, increasing restrictions on guns, loosen restrictions on immigration, promote gender equality, and so on.
