20. Appealing to a group of people for votes

is only "playing a card" when that group of people has traditionally been oppressed -- racial minorities and women, for example.

That's why I hate the whole "cards" thing. Somehow, there isn't a gun-totin' hunter card, or a Nascar card, or a good ol' boy card, or a hate-immigrants card. So the whole thing strikes me as some odd kind of backlash.
