Time for traffic problems in Fort Lee

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.
When stuck in gridlock traffic for hours.

Right Flight

Republicans who disassociate themselves from the Republican Party, because right winged nuts are setting the Party's agenda to favor the 1%, and in a way that is hostile toward the middle class, poor, women, gays, sick, scientists, and illegal immigrants.
Right Flight may be a big problem for the Republican Party as they become dominated by right winged nuts who are more anti-government and anarchistic than conservative, and who lack a viable agenda to solve critical problems that face the nation.

doxxed

The practice of revealing another persons personal information on the Internet. It is often done as revenge by ex-lovers who post nude images of their former lover online.
When her ex-lover doxxed her on a porn website he was not really thinking of the fact that she was a minor at the time the pictures of them were taken in compromising positions. But he had a lot of time later to think about it in jail after her parents had charges brought against him for statutory rape, and distributing nude pictures of a minor. He was also reminded of it when he had to register as a sex offender. He should not have been so surprised when they posted images of his mugshot and tag line "convicted of rape and possession and distribution of child pornography" on all the sex offender and criminal websites.

affluenza

A legal defense by rich kids and or adults who are guilty of a crime for which they committed and freely admit. The defence is that the offspring of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits on their childrens behavior, are exempt from regular laws because natural law allows for special privilege and greater understanding for the rich and powerful in general. This argument comes from a branch of philosophy called circular logic. If the defense works it also means that instead of applying legal limits on rich people's behavior it legally exempts them and only them. This strengthens the defense in further legal problems should they occur again.
The affluenza defense works a lot better than a similar defense works for the offspring or poor, impoverished and suppressed parents, who don't have the resources to feed, cloth or house their kids properly, and because of time and resource constraints are unable keep tract or to set limits on their childrens behavior.

Obama Doctrine

Don't Do Stupid Shit (DDSS)
On Air Force One on an Asian trip, Obama presented the basic guiding principle of the Obama Doctrine: "Don't Do Stupid Shit". However, he failed to give a coherent vision of the Great Stuff, or even the principles guiding such great decisions for a vision.

compassionate disruption

A program of pushing homeless into social services that move the homeless out of an area and into a place where they can be inadequately treated outside the purview of the public.
The police lured the poor homeless from the downtown, under their new policy of compassionate disruption. The homeless were given the option of a one way Greyhound bus ticket, to see a far a way land, or residency in the local police hotel, and a job doing community service.
