'''Political cards''' are tactics used by [[liberals]], [[athiests]], [[homosexuals]], [[women]] or indeed nearly any non-conservative 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 are 52 political cards (although conceptually there could be many more or less), 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.  Many liberal articles and commentaries consist of little more playing one or more political cards.
