status quo means the current state of things
I'm aware of the phrase's meaning. It's not being used this way from what I can tell.
Seems to me that conservative policy is the status quo. Almost by definition, 'conserving' the way things are, or what they believe it is. As a general trend, the us has leaned much more conservative. This is the status quo.
Changing, progressive policy is literally antithetical to the status quo. A woman in office is not the current state. So why do people say that the dem candidate is the status quo if that makes no sense?
There’s definitely an element of misinformation here. Too many people are rebelling against a “status quo” that never existed
They're talking about the administration's policies, not the Zeitgeist of Americans.
