Seeing as how I just came up for a potentially new term used in psychology on another board, I would like the opportunity to elaborate.

In a possible news article:

New Term for the Politically Challenged

Political Identity Disorder, or PID, has now entered American lingo by way of internet forums and by a specific member on a site YouthNOISE.com, named "freedomordeath".

In response to our questions, he says that the majority of the reason is because most Americans don't know who, let alone what, they stand for in the very firm two-party system.

"I just feel there are many people out there in America that not only do not understand what each party's platforms are, but that a large portion of American citizens don't pay attention and become confused as well," freedomordeath remarked this Saturday.

Although the movement for the phrase to be put into dictionaries and various medical and law books, it will most likely remain as a lay term in our society.

Darn it! Even my parents have PID. What's wrong with our country?!

Maybe there are just a lot of people who exist outside of "republican" and "democrat" entirely?

I have no political identity, as I eschew both conservatism and liberalism, as well as other ideas that are defined in terms of their amounts conservatism and liberalism. I reject the linear political spectrum, as I find it far too narrow. There are ideas that exist which have nothing to do with conservative or liberal mindsets.

Political identities... what a waste of time.

And some people may not know that ian. Of course, there are variants of the disorder, but you may have the gist of it.

Republican: You have the ability to help yourself, so nobody should have to help you.

Democrat: Brotherhood is critical for survival.
