Banana Republicanization

The transformation of previously diverse, interesting and cool urban areas into packaged and contrived suburban sameness, one cloned pseudo-trendy chic boutique and café at a time.
Listening to Parker and Logan only poured salt in my wounds at how Banana Republicanization has completely ruined San Francisco.
Parker: Let’s Uber to a café on Valencia Street for an organic-pour-over-single-source-fair-market-turmeric-agave coffee.
Logan: Which fauxhemian café? The one at the corner of 11th? 12th? 13th? 14th? 15th? 16th…?
Parker: That new one, Clones. Besides, I need product for my beard and some vinyl from next door at Posers. You know, the place with the tastefully arranged retro dusty junk from dad’s garage.
Logan: Perfect! Isn’t it great, living in the City? I’m so glad we don’t live in a superficial, contrived place like LA.

Parker: I know, let’s wear our matching custard brown jeans, $300 sneakerboots, and black start-up t-shirts.

Banana Republican

Banana Republicans are those to whom the Right is not Right enough; modern-era conservatives dedicated to eliminating democracy and rejecting the justice system including judges, juries and the official apparatus of investigative agencies, punitive measures, and oversight concerning Rightwing politicians.
Those damned Banana Republicans have taken over the Supreme Court and brought the legislative branch to a grinding halt.

Something that shouldn't be true, but unfortunately it is (in the USA, at least).

Closet Republican

The kind of guy who votes Republican solely because he doesn't want to pay for the other party's new tax hike or other such social expense. Usually a high-income earner who lives in a coastal city and will go to great lengths to not reveal his vote to his more liberal friends. Sometimes he'll even build a superficial pro-this or that persona just to fit in with whatever his friends claim to support, some of whom may be just "fitting in" themselves.
"There's no way a guy with a house and a job like that would support the new tax bill, he's probably just a closeted Republican."
"I don't know about you but that little speech of his sounded so forced and generic, like something a closet Republican would say just to impress people..."
