'''Political cards''' are tactics used in politics, the media, and other adversarial settings in order to appeal to emotion or even prejudice rather than reason.  They are based on analogy of playing a card game, especially [[bridge]].  Indeed, there may be about 52 political cards, just as in a deck of cards for bridge and other games.

'''Political cards''' are tactics used by [[liberals]] in politics, the media, and other adversarial settings in order to appeal to emotion or even prejudice rather than reason.  The term is a metaphor for what happens in the card game of [[bridge]], where one card can be played to "trump" (defeat) all other cards.  Indeed, there may be about 52 political cards, just as in a deck of cards for bridge.

In contrast with most card games, however, a political card can be played at any time, no matter how irrational or irrelevant to the topic.
