Gang violence...
these tend to be used by political strategists and pundits

low information voters = dumb people
political correctness = calling me out on the southern strategy
political narrative = how good is news at appealing to familiar stories and stereotypes instead of appealing to intellect
news cycle = duration of time news is not boring the viewers

"the American people want..." = the people who voted for me want..
(Republicans) "job killing policies" = raising taxes on rich folks
(Republicans) "small businesses" = hedge funds
"get tough on crime" = lock up the blacks
"culture of dependency" = blacks are lazy
"we need to cut spending" = we're going to cut basic programs poor people rely on
