Read the People
A grand, often political version of the skill, referring to the ability of a leader, marketer, or movement to accurately gauge the collective desires, fears, and mood of a large population (a nation, a demographic). It's less about micro-expressions and more about interpreting cultural signals, economic anxiety, and zeitgeist shifts. Success depends on this reading; failure leads to tone-deaf campaigns and lost elections.
Example: A politician who continues to campaign on a message of fiscal austerity when Reading the People reveals a population seething with inequality and desperate for investment in healthcare and education has catastrophically misread the room. Their opponent, who channels that anger into a message of economic justice, has read the people correctly.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.

That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
