vibe politics
Politics consumed and judged mainly through vibes rather than knowing or understanding policy. People decide who is right based on tone, aesthetics, memes, identity, tribal cues, and social feeling, not detailed knowledge of what laws or policies actually do or how they work.
Example: Someone who is pro X party, constantly posts about it, and is positive their side is right about pretty much everything, but can’t really explain the party’s agenda beyond a couple simple talking points.

“Online politics is mostly vibe politics now—clips, dunks, and aesthetics matter more than the bill itself.”
