Chopo is a derogatory term used to describe someone perceived as tacky, unrefined, or low-class. It refers to people who wear flashy, mismatched, or outdated clothing, have eccentric hairstyles, and act foolishly while trying to imitate celebrities or high-society figures. The feminine forms chopa or chopita can refer to a domestic worker (a maid) or a lower-class woman whom wealthier men use for casual sex or informal live-in relationships. The term is also applied to Dominicans who move to New York (commonly referred to as Lo paise) and adopt an even more exaggerated, gaudy style with oversized clothing and accessories.
Typical traits of a Chopo include: 1) Mopping the house while blasting bachata or merengue tipico (music genres traditionally associated with rural or working-class roots). 2) Lacking personality and obviously trying to copy a TV star. 3) Being a flamboyant homosexual in public. 4) Saying par de (a pair of) instead of the number two when giving out phone digits. 5) Wearing ridiculous clothes. 6) Speaking like a peasant by swapping the letter R for I (the characteristic accent of the northern Cibao region), for example: Poique (Because) Maileni doesn't know who she's messing with, she better stop looking for Monin, poique (because) he came to my house...

A system of government based on being chopo (a derogatory Dominican term for someone perceived as low class, vulgar, or uncultured). Hierarchical positions are earned through the worst human qualities, prioritizing anti-values, lack of education, and incompetence over merit. Chopocracia is linked to a parasitic state where officials are chosen based on campaign contributions or favors owed to sponsors, paid for with state resources. It perpetuates ignorance and poverty to secure votes from an electorate that is kept from choosing better leaders. In this context, chopo represents a lack of scruples and dignity.
The Dominican congress, the Dominican military, the PRD and PLD political parties, and the PLD deputy who physically attacked a congressional employee are examples of Chopocracia.
