Ghoul is a term that has came into popular parlance in the two thousand teens among leftists to describe career republican politicians who have been behind terrible policy decisions. Ghoul often refers not to charismatic figureheads like Ronald Reagan or George W Bush but the even more powerful and decrepit looking old white men who advise them and make big decisions from the shadows. These men (because they are almost always men) put up a guise of being boring bureaucrats while in actuality they are the architects of some of the most disastrous events of the 20th century, the most notable being the Iraq War. Some example of infamous ghouls are Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, and John Bolton. Ghouls can also be applied to congressman who despite being universally despised by many still manage to cling to power by being the right mixture of conniving and boring, like Mitch McConnell. The 2018 movie Vice, about de-facto president Dick Cheney, served as a spotlight to the general public on the life of Ghouls.
Can you believe that Ghoul is using his experience of killing 1 million Iraqi civilians as a reason for why we should let him tell us why we don't need free healthcare and college on CNN?

A ghoul is a living being whom looks exactly like a human, though there are very big differences between humans and ghouls. First of all, ghouls cannot eat the food humans eat, ghouls can only eat humans, and they can only drink coffee and water. Ghouls also have a muscle like object (called a kagune) that comes out of a position in their back, Depending on what kind of ghoul they are. It can either be an okaku (shoulders), kokaku (shoulderblades), rinkaku (waist), or binkaku (tailbone). Each type of kagune have their pros and cons. If a ghoul commits cannibalism, then they get a strong, hard to control kagune kalled a kakuja. Ghouls only have to eat one human once a month to keep their strength up and to keep their kagune 'fed'. When ghouls are hungry, the white part of their eye turnes black and their cornia turns red. If ghouls cannot control when their eyes change, it is something that points them out from the rest of society.
