Political climate

The various political opinions and ideologies, as well as people’s overall opinion of the government and the numerous political parties that are active at the time, held by the numerous populations and subpopulations in a specific society in a specific geographical location, which can vary in terms of scale. Political climate can be observed on the local level, county level, state level, regional level, national level, and international level. Political climate can be impacted by various demographic factors such as the amount of ethnic diversity the population has, which religions are the most commonly practiced in that area, how densely populated the area is, the atmospheric climate the area they are in has, particularly what types of natural hazards are they most prone to have, the socioeconomic conditions like in that area, how well educated the people in that area are, etc.
The national political climate is moving to support more liberal policies, including police reform, increasing restrictions on guns, loosen restrictions on immigration, promote gender equality, and so on.

illusionist’s game

An approach where an individual makes up and or exaggerates stories to try to conceal what really happened at specific events and or to try to glorify themselves, in order to portray the situation in a way that works in their favor. People often do this to improve their reputation, attack their enemies, and push people to support their goals. This approach is often unethical as it falsely portrays what happened at certain events and who you really are. It is also quite risky to the individual using this approach, because if people find out what really happened, they will stop believing the stories told by the individual, which reduces their credibility and trustworthiness.
Ventis: I heard that Donny supposed got attacked by five guys, but defeated them all without suffering a scratch.
Henry: Yeah right. A guy with no self defense training and a boat load of arrogance at all defeated five guys without suffering any injuries. He is lying through his teeth.

Emma: Based on what I know about him there is no way in ninety years he could pull that off. He is playing an illusionist’s game, in order to improve his reputation.

Henry: I agree with you there.
Ventis: I agree with both of you. He can't be trusted to tell the truth about what really happened.

political identity privilege

The idea that an individual being a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats can give that individual more power and influence than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality, because of the fact that most people will be more likely to respect, listen to, and value the opinion of an individual is a supporter of the Republicans or Democrats than an individual who is a supporter of a nonmainstream political party or an individual who practices political neutrality.
Kenny: I heard that Britany had a disagreement with Dylan because some views of his views about climate change didn’t entirely match the views held by her and certain Democratic leaders. They both believe that climate change is occurring, but, because his views didn’t match her views, she refused to even hear him out as to why he held those views and kept shooting down his ideas as to why climate change was occurring.
Isabell: I know that Britany is very strong supporter of the Democratic party and that Dylan is a supporter of the Green Rainbow Party. Britany doesn’t respect of people’s views on political issues unless the individual is a Democrat. A lot of people listen to what she has to say on various political issues, but they seldom listen to what Dylan has to say.
Kenny: Agreed. It sounds like Britany and some other people’s political identity privilege is showing.
