A person residing in a first world country, most likely Caucasian with lots of time to waste, that thinks the whole fucking world revolves around them and their schizophrenic political views (Left or Right).
“Qanon told me that Big homo is trying to turn me into a beta male by feeding me soy burgers and putting fluoride in the water and this makes sense because my friends that are allergic to Olanzapine all think the same thing and also Ted K is fucking based.”
Or
“I am a lesbian, trans woman that is punching up and fighting the patriarchy by getting in screaming matches about esoteric gender concepts I learned about on Reddit with people that barely graduated highschool because it heightens my chances of getting that sweet superiority complex bump”
“Damn those people got like, politically induced retardation or something. If only they found a hobby that didn’t piss everyone else off”

Get the Politically induced retardation mug.is a colloquial term often used to describe politicians or political figures who make outlandish statements, exhibit bizarre behavior, or hold extreme beliefs that are perceived as unconventional or detached from reality. The term is derived from the breakfast cereal "Froot Loops," which consists of brightly colored, sugary cereal rings. In this context, it implies that the individual's views or actions are as whimsical and nonsensical as the cereal itself.
The politician's latest rant about aliens invading Congress was just another serving of Political Froot Loops, leaving many wondering about the state of their sanity.

Get the Political Froot Loops mug.When you and another person come up to a path (like an intersection, a doorway, or a narrow hallway) where only one person can go, and you politely tell them to “go ahead” and they say “no, no, you go ahead” and then you both wait, and then go at the same time thinking that the other person will not concede, and you repeat this at least one more time.
Two drivers pull up to opposite sides of a 4-way stop at the same time. One is turning left, the other is going straight. The person going straight signals to left turn person to “go ahead”, while at the same time, the person turning left signals to the person going straight to “go ahead”. They signal back and forth and then wait, and eventually concede at the same time. They laugh and repeat the polite shuffle at least once more.

Get the Polite shuffle mug.The problem of collective decision-making under irreconcilable pluralism. Politics aims to organize societies where people have fundamentally different values, beliefs, and desires. The hard problem is that no system can fairly aggregate these preferences without violating some core principle (like majority rule trampling minority rights, or consensus leading to paralysis). Every political theory—democracy, liberalism, socialism—has a fatal flaw when implemented in a world of real, diverse humans. The search for a perfectly just and stable system may be logically impossible, condemning us to a perpetual, messy negotiation between order and freedom, equality and excellence.
Example: A community must decide: Build a hospital or a school? The sick and elderly prefer the hospital; families with kids prefer the school. A vote creates a winner and a resentful loser. Compromise (a smaller version of each) may satisfy no one fully. The hard problem: There is no "correct" answer discoverable by reason or science. Any decision will impose someone's values on someone else. Politics is the arena where this irreducible conflict plays out, not to be solved, but to be managed. The ideal system is a mirage; the best we can do is avoid civil war while bickering endlessly. Hard Problem of Politics.

Get the Hard Problem of Politics mug.The psychological injury inflicted by exposure to, or direct victimization by, oppressive political systems, violent ideological conflict, state-sponsored violence, or the chronic terror of living under unstable or authoritarian regimes. This includes the trauma of refugees, persecuted minorities, political prisoners, and citizens subjected to gaslighting propaganda, the collapse of social contracts, and the betrayal by trusted institutions. It is the damage done when the political sphere, which should provide security and order, becomes a source of pervasive threat and moral injury.
Example: A journalist in an authoritarian country is kidnapped, tortured, and released, but lives in constant fear of re-abduction. A family in a war zone hears bombs every night for years. A minority community sees their rights legislated away and faces increasing state-sanctioned violence. Even in stable democracies, a person may develop political trauma from chronic exposure to threats of civil war, the erosion of democratic norms, and the feeling of helplessness as institutions fail. The trauma is the shattering of the fundamental trust that the political world will provide a safe container for life.

Get the Political Trauma mug.A break from shared reality centered on political ideology, where conspiracy theories and partisan narratives form a completely self-referential, airtight delusional system. It is characterized by the belief that one is a central actor in a grand historical struggle, that political opponents are literal demons or subhuman agents of evil, and that all contradictory information is proof of the conspiracy's depth. This psychosis often manifests as messianic or persecutory delusions woven from news fragments, online propaganda, and the mythos of a political movement, severing the individual from any common epistemic ground.
Example: A person becomes convinced they are a "digital soldier" for a political leader. They believe mainstream news anchors send them coded signals through eye blinks, that their neighbor's lawn sign is a threat against their family, and that they must stockpile weapons for an impending "Storm." They lose their job for ranting about these beliefs at work. This is political psychosis: their grasp on reality has been hijacked by an ideological narrative, transforming the world into a personalized, paranoid political thriller where they are the protagonist.
