Political Jiu Jitsu is a term used to describe the art of winning in politics by surprising your opponents and using counterintuitive tactics. It is based on the principles of judo, a martial art that uses an opponent's own strength and momentum against them. In political jiu jitsu, politicians use their opponents' weaknesses and mistakes to their own advantage.

There are many different ways to use Political Jiu Jitsu. Some common tactics include:

• Using your opponent's strengths against them. For example, if your opponent is known for being a great orator, you could try to turn this against them by challenging them to a debate. This would force them to put their oratory skills on display, but it would also give you an opportunity to expose their weaknesses.
• Exploiting your opponent's mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and politicians are no exception. If your opponent makes a mistake, you can use this to your advantage by capitalizing on it. For example, if your opponent makes a gaffe in a speech, you could use this to make them look foolish and incompetent.
• Using surprise to your advantage. One of the best ways to win in politics is to catch your opponents off guard. This can be done by using unexpected tactics or by making unexpected moves. For example, if your opponent is expecting you to attack them on one issue, you could surprise them by attacking them on a different issue.

Political Jiu Jitsu can be a very effective way to win in politics. However, it is important to use it wisely. If you use it too often, your opponents will become wise to your tactics and they will be less likely to fall for them. It is also important to remember that Political Jiu Jitsu is not about winning at any cost. It is about winning in a way that is ethical and fair.

Here are some examples of how Political Jiu Jitsu has been used successfully in the past:

• In the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Donald Trump used Political Jiu Jitsu to defeat Hillary Clinton. Trump surprised Clinton by using unconventional tactics, such as attacking her on her personal life and her record as Secretary of State. He also used Clinton's own words against her, such as when he used her statement that "half of Trump's supporters are deplorable" to paint her as out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.
• In the 2017 French presidential election, Emmanuel Macron used Political Jiu Jitsu to defeat Marine Le Pen. Macron surprised Le Pen by running on a centrist platform that appealed to both left- and right-wing voters. He also used Le Pen's own words against her, such as when he used her statement that "France is a Christian country" to paint her as out of touch with the country's increasingly diverse population.
• In the 2019 Canadian federal election, Justin Trudeau used Political Jiu Jitsu to defeat Andrew Scheer. Trudeau surprised Scheer by running on a progressive platform that appealed to young voters and urban voters. He also used Scheer's own words against him, such as when he used Scheer's statement that "abortion is wrong" to paint him as out of touch with the majority of Canadians who support abortion rights.

These are just a few examples of how Political Jiu Jitsu has been used successfully in the past. It is a powerful tool that can be used to win in politics, but it is important to use it wisely and ethically.
