The Hercules story which purportedly begat the term is fascinating. Politics is rife with the "Glittering or vague generalizations" form, with MAGA being a most obvious example (and it is binding, since who in the States doesn't want to make America great?). The person who coined it uses weasel words nearly constantly. Consider phrases like "People are telling me..." sometimes interjected with a random spray of words and phrases like "many," "a lot of," "strong" or "smart" to exaggerate the faux authority being invoked.
