Barack Obama is a fauxgressive. He pretends to be progressive in his campaigning, but he rarely fights for progressive causes and consistently supports corporatist, unprogressive policies.

May 26 Word of the Day
"Bi wife energy" is a term that was coined through a song by the user @/cringelizard on Tik Tok to describe the energy that Misha Collins radiates, explaining it with the fact that he is married to a bisexual woman, Victoria Vantoch. The full song can be found on all music streaming services and YouTube.
People with bi wife energy are fiercely supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, their love for their spouse, if they have one, is strong and people sometimes assume they are queer.
In their first video about this, @/cringelizard referred to Misha as a "hetero guy", but amended in a later added verse that the actor does not like labels.
The term "bi wife energy" can be used for people of all genders, regardless of relationship status, although "bi husband energy" has also been used in several videos across Tik Tok.

Lyric excerpt:
(Verse 2)
Now sometimes people assume I'm queer
And I have to say, hey! just a straight guy here
But I get it a lot, and I don't mean to be cruel
It's just that my wife is a bisexual
(Chorus)
Bi wife energy
He has bi wife energy
BI wife energy (yeah)
He has bi wife energy

Individuals that purport to be advocates of science and progress but that ignore all science and evidence that is contradictory to their ideology. The fauxprogressive group consists of marxists, neo-marxists, social justice warriors, people that have blind faith in government subjugation and naively believe that an all powerful government can fix all of the world's problems, people that devolve to ad hominem attacks and that refuse to engage with the ideas of their opponents, all the people that want to destroy classical liberalism, the people that refuse to acknowledge progress and claim that nothing has changed since 1776 or the 1950s, people who think that everyone who doesn't have the same exact beliefs as them are evil idiots, people who have blind faith in the oppressor vs oppressed narrative, people that are members of the anti-racism cult that hate MLK's humanist vision, people that believe that destroying the property and livelihood of innocent third parties is somehow helping to improve society, innocent fundamentalist reductionist that reduce everything to being about power or immutable physical characteristics, and people that love revisionist bullshit.
Fauxgressive: the patriarchy is oppressing everyone.
Someone that values logic, reason, and evidence based argument: Is your claim based upon any evidence and is it falsifiable?
Fauxgressive: YOU RACIST NAZI, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF THE PATRIARCHY. STOP OPPRESSING ME

Someone who hates President Barack Obama and pretends to be a progressive to make the hatred look like it's coming from within the Democratic Party.
Sally has voted Republican for 30 years, but she calls herself a "progressive" now to make it seem like the Democratic Party is splintering. She's a fauxgressive.
