neutral  Ivannia Garcia: no creo que literalmente dé brincos; más bien pareciera ser un idiom o una metáfora

Explanation:
No conozco en profundidad el contexto de tu traducción.
Pero por la oración que incluiste en la pregunta, creo que se refiere a alguien que antes era respetuoso y atendía a los políticos, y ahora ya no lo hace. O sea, los ignora o algo por el estilo.

Espero te ayude. Saludos.

agree  teju: Estoy de acuerdo que este es el significado. Lo ideal sería encontrar una expresión idiomática en español. Algo así como "ahora es un descarado", "ya no le importa nada", cada país tiene sus regionalismos.

  -> Mil gracias, teju! Tenés razón, sería bueno al menos algo en sentido figurado, aunque no sea regionalismo. :)
