Political nomenclature

A process where a politician, political commentator, and or government official is working on naming a new phenomenon or issue directly or indirectly related to politics in the hopes of raising awareness of that issue and or getting public opinion to shift in a certain way

Many politicians practice political nomenclature in order to push their agenda, address certain societal problems, and get the constituents from their district to reelect them.

Political Influencer

a person who takes part in influencing political outcomes.

The political influencers lied every moment to feed their greed. It will be a cold day in hell before they'll give up controlling the political narrative.

Water(ing) Hole Politics

When the division and "hate" between two political figures, parties, countries, etc. is predominantly fabricated, and both parties/figures are on much better terms with each other than what they portray, all to benefit their own personal interests.

"Dude, did you see the picture of the Clinton's with Trump at his wedding? I thought they hated each other!"
"Bro, their hatred for each other is just some watering hole politic."

Water(ing) hole politics came to me in a fever dream. Derives from how animals were thought to put aside their prey/predator interactions when at a watering hole. This turned out to be a myth, just like how even the friendly banter of two political opponents which supposedly hate each other behind the scenes is likely fake too, as both candidates are acting nice to each other behind curtains for their own personal gain, and likely don't even like each other.
