glonzo

An incorrect belief or conspiracy theory held by voters that can be exploited by politicians to achieve their goals.

If 25% of the population believed that a creature called ‘Glonzo’ caused high power prices by chewing through transmission lines, any competent politician would be negligent in not trying to find a way to exploit this. This doesn’t mean that these people wouldn’t be fucking morons.

I will admit that I underestimated how important The Storm, Trust the Plan, and so on are to MAGA (including the ‘softer’ versions). It’s glonzo, but it’s also, in a bizarre way, one of the few positive, non-trolling things they care about.

Alternative letter-case form of Glonzo.
