This phrase describes a type of game centered around political events, specifically involving two prominent figures in American politics. The structure typically involves establishing rules, often focused on actions or statements made by these individuals during debates, speeches, or other public appearances. When a designated action or statement occurs, participants consume a beverage, frequently alcoholic.
The appeal of such activities lies in their ability to introduce levity and social interaction into what can often be a tense and polarized political climate. Historically, these types of games have emerged during election cycles as a means of coping with the stress and intensity associated with political discourse. They can also be viewed as a form of political commentary, albeit one expressed through participation in a game.
