high road defeatism 

When left wing politicians lose to the dirty tactics of right wing politicians because they feel that their personal integrity is more important than protecting their constituents.

Alternatively, those left wing politicians who have embraced the fact that keeping their position (and income via corporate paychecks and inside trading) only requires maintaining the appearance of high road morality, which is easy enough to do by acting stupid and pretending not to notice when their supposed political opponents act in bad faith.
American People: The Republican Party has been subsumed by foreign money and fascist elements. They've now taken over the major branches of government in a way that the checks and balances system no longer works, enacting policies that represent a shrinking minority of the populace. At the same time, they push fake conspiracies and promote false reality constructivism to fabricate invisible enemies to justify their bullshit. Why do you keep pretending like they aren't acting in bad faith?

Democrats: When they go low, we go high.

*Democrats proceed to seize the high ground while Republicans proceed to seize the Supreme Court*

Anyone with a brain: High road defeatism is not a winning strategy.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
