When a political vendetta is focused on local leaders constituents because he won't support a major politician. E.g., jamming up traffic for 1000's of constituents. Many constituents may unwittingly end up focusing their anger on the local leader, who is helpless in such a situation. The vendetta is obvious to the local leader, however it is hard to prove. When he protests he is mocked and humiliated, and made to look like a paranoid, delusional conspiracy theorist or incompetent idiot. The wide publicity from the vendetta creates an exponential impact on other non-supporters of the major politician, so they get the message and jump in line so they do not end up being humiliated, or in political gridlock.
Since the real perpetrator always has plausible deniability he can claim to be blindsided, heartbroken, embarrassed, humiliated and betrayed by his zealots, and his stupid goons. The ability of the perpetrator to transform himself into the victim by playing to people's empathy, sympathy, and by using an army of spin doctors who can saturated the media with a new image is a true accomplishment. The perpetrator's success may end up further enhancing his ability to inspire fear in those who may not aspire to come to his rescue. This works best when a complete account of conspiracy theory cannot show a direct connection, such as by a paper trail, or by testimony from stupid aides and appointees.

Get Over It

A cliche used when there is indecisive action which limits one's ability to function. It can be used to encourage one to get over a hurdle and move on, or to accept a loss.
The president's Chief of staff. told the Democrats to Get Over It, in the most confusing way. On the one hand, he provided significant new and clarification of old evidence of at least 2 of the most indefensible impeachable offenses. On the other hand, he seemed to be saying to America this as the new normal.

digital exploitation

The exploitation of digital media to unfairly influence the outcome or to create an unjust result. It can be a form of cheating and illicit practices that take advantage of and exploit media users. In some cases, media users are programmed to go viral with misinformation or disinformation. Much like when an arson strikes a match when the conditions are favorable for a wildfire to spread in ways that are most damaging to the environment.
The Russians have learned quickly that they can positively influence the outcome of an election through digital exploitation. much easier than conventional war. Surprisingly they have the help of a large minority of the public who support their candidate right or wrong.

designated drunk driver

Someone who is not so drunk that they can call an Uber or Lift driver or taxi driver, and who has the means of paying for the driver.
Anne will be the designated drunk driver since she has an Uber of Lift app on her I phone and never is so drunk or poor that she can't call and pay for one. Also Anne would never leave any of us behind, or anyone drunk with the keys to a car.

yes girls

Girls that just cannot say no to a hook up.

A yes girl must be conscious and not drugged, or boozed up. The girl says yes because it what she wants to and she knows what she is getting and is not being manipulated, or coaxed into saying yes through false promises.

Horney permiscuious girls, who act out on their emotional drives.

A yes guy's wet dream come true.
The faternity claimed they were inundated with yes girls.

However, the university closed the faternity down for several years after finding the frat house was using date rape drugs and alcohol to get minors high and wait till they passed out. Five of the frat members are still in jail, after having sex with unconscious underaged woman. The woman who woke up the next day naked in places they had no memory of going to, said their last memory was of falling sleepy after drinking lemonade at the local soda shop.

47 percent

Approximately, 47% of the households did not pay federal income tax in 2011. This was in part because the Republicans lowered taxes on the poor to justify huge tax reductions for the extremely wealthy classes during the Bush Era. However, many in the 47% category still pay other types of taxes such as payroll taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, state income taxes, and fees, etc.

The Romney Doctrine promotes the idea that many of these people are unable to change because they feel like they are victims. This includes retirees and elderly, poor that are sick or disabled, mentally incompetent, working poor, under employed and unemployed, students, and farmers who depend on government assistance during part of their lives. Many of these people feel entitled to these government benefits after paying into these systems for most of their lives through income and payroll taxes and fees. And many of them will not vote for a presidential candidate that will dismantle much of the social safety net, or that favors a privatization of these systems.
