Aka. P.D.S.; A major social and political problem where an individual to identify as being a supporter of one political party and or ideology, but then changes their identity and or ideology done often times to better align with their values and beliefs. Rather than accept their identity as being part of who they are and move on, the individual will strenuously deny that they ever had that identity and will overtly take political stances and mobilize on issues that are consistent with what their new political identity; in order to make their new identity seem more legitimate to themselves and other people and or to help them deal with the fact they feel embarrassed and or guilty because of their former political identity. People with this often times endure a lot of fear that people will not see them as being a legitimate supporter of the new political party and or ideology they use, emotional and mental restlessness caused by their belief they have to actively work to make up for their former identity, and or intense guilt for having their previous identity.
Marvin: Why does Stacy always seem to talk about politics. I understand that she is passionate about her beliefs, but she does not need to talk about it constantly.
Janet: I think she has political denial syndrome. If I’m recalling correctly, she used to be a republican, but after having some issues related to Trump’s actions and the capital riots her beliefs shifted to strongly favoring the democrats. Because of all the things the republicans did and the fact she had backed them in the past, she may feel that she has to make up for having that identity because she may feel indirectly responsible for what happened because she voted some of the politicians responsible for it. It could also be that she could be embarrassed by her former identity and her actively discussing her views is one of the ways she deals with discomfort.
Marvin: No offense, but, in a way, it almost sounds like she could need counselor or a good friend to talk to help her deal with her discomfort and stress if that is the case.
Janet: Yes, I think your right about that.

Get the Canyon Dental Centre mug.Surprising this is not available on the Web: I've burrowed around and cannot find it. It is probably Hollywood slang from the 1940s, when it was common to travel across the US / Mexican border to get excellent dental work for a quarter of what you'd pay in California - remembering that anybody with aspirations to go before a movie camera must have a better-than-perfect smile.
"Tijuana Dentist" is a euphemism for crossing the border to get a quick abortion, if you happen to be an aspiring starlet who gets knocked up. In that era there was no easy path to a legal pulling of the rabbit. So if you were expecting and did not expect to expect you would tell everyone you were going to Tijuana to get your teeth fixed.

If you say "She's taken a week off to go see a Tijuana Dentist" it means the young lady in question has made a quick trip South of the Border to get a fetus yanked.
