Paul Ryan Effect

The accepted reality that promises made by Republican candidates won't come true. Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan claimed that he was a "Solid Conservative", when in fact he was a self-promoting sleazeball that lied for several years without any shame. Ryan promised great things in his campaigns, but the USA suffered severe losses during his tenure in Congress.

The East Asia effect

The effect of a larger entity appealing more towards external entities with more resources rather than their own entities.
It is named after the continuous double standards set in East Asian countries like China, Japan, and South Korea on Western tourists, giving them a false rrality that many citizens dream to have. A big example are then amount of people wanting to work in Japan despite its hellish working conditions because of the false vision being given to them.
