We’ve ALL heard the saying that opinions are like assholes… everyone has one, and most of them stink. 

Whether those opinions be: 

Liberal or conservative. 

Democrat, Justice-Democrat, Constitutionalist, Republican, Green, or Libertarian. 

Successful or a failure. It doesn't matter, because opinions are like... ;)

What is bad luck? Opinion. What are conflict, dispute, blame, accusation, irreverence, and frivolity? They are all opinions, and more than that, they are opinions that lie outside of our own reasoned choice, presented as if they were good or evil. Let a person shift their opinions only to what belongs in the field of their own choice, and I guarantee that person will have peace of mind, whatever is happening around them.”
(Epictetus, Discourses, 3.3.18b-19)

How many of the above definitions are influenced by social or spiritual dogma, privilege, implicit expectations, and idiocy? 

ALL of them.
