Federal Election Commission. A independent agency of the federal government charged with elections' rules and conduct, and registering new political parties to participate in the US political circuit. Unfortunately, the are directly responsible for letting the US political circuit settle into a solely bi-partisan system that blocks most independent party participation in any government level(local, state, and federal).
The FEC is surely getting too lax. Is this why we keep getting clowns like Mrs. Clinton and Trump as the last remaining candidates for POTUS?

Get the FECmug. It is a decade that borrows a lot from 2010s, but distinctive with several key factors.
1. 2020-2021 COVID pandemic and recession.
2. Advanced AI in business and media.
3. Skibidi Toilet. First a joke meme, then actual sagas of Cameramen vs Skibidi Toilets.
4. Geopolitical events in Eastern Europe and the Middle East:
- 2021 US Withdrawal from Afghanistan.
- 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine, although Russo-Ukrainian War started in 2014 {Drone warfare is honed down to a science.
- 2023 Hamas Attack on Israel, and subsequently IDF's brutal counter-assault.
- The long-running Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict came to an end in 2024. Armenia renounced claims to the mountain region and Azerbaijan subsequently took control over it.
- 2024 Collapse of al-Assad's Regime by al-Sharaa's Coalition Forces.
- 2025 Israel-Iran Conflict.
5. Backlash against political correctness and social justice preaching in government, education, and media.
6. Backlash against illegal immigration in the USA and Europe.
7. High cost of living, goods, and services.
8. Biden forfeits re-election, Kamala stinks, and return of Donald Trump as POTUS in 2025.
9. The lingering cringe of pop EDM/big room house music, but nobody cares about brostep music or Skrillex anymore.
TL;DR version: the 2020s are very similar to the 2010s but darker. The decade is still ongoing. I'll leave the definition as is if not much changes later in the decade.

Get the horse chipsmug. Shitlibs are self-serving rich elite politicians who are subscribers of neoliberal economics and governance. The support more deregulation for big business and corporations, but more regulation and inceased taxes for smaller businesses and workers. They support outsourcing, illegal immigrant labor, lower wages, more free trade and privatization (when it benefits them). They often lie about their support of egalitarian and socially liberal ideas but never really enact them. They are often side with tech and media corporations and receive donations from them regularly. They also support more war and interventionism abroad.

Get the shitlibmug. Pop EDM is a umbrella term for related electronic pop of the 2010s. Electro house, big room house, brostep, complextro, drumstep, moombaton, trap house, etc. Often mistaken as regular EDM, which is a much broader term of electronic music.

Get the Pop EDMmug. The broke ass revival of the 1980s decade and the 2000s little bratty brother. A decade dominated by the toilet humor of Pop EDM, the obsessed smartphone users, the War On Terror Part Deuce, and Russia's flexing off its biceps again. People are cutting the cord but media networks remain in complete totalitarian control. Smartphones gain Skynet-like self awareness and adaptive intelligence, and will cause the the human race go extinct by 2020. It is the era Barack Obama of being POTUS; yet the end of the decade gave birth to a orange manbaby for POTUS, Donald Trump. China gave the world a one great big Christmas "present" in the very end of the decade: the SARS-2 coronavirus.
Marty McFly: Doc, are we back in the 1980s?
Doc Brown: No, this is the 2010s, Marty. People are just obsessed with the '80s electropop culture, but what did not comeback is the nostalgia for 1980s hard rock and glam metal. See that person walking right there? He is mindlessly staring down into a device known as a smartphone.
McFly: What does it do?
Doc: It let's Big Brother spy on your personal life with a software program known as an app. It also robs you of your sanity and life. Obsessed smartphone users are also dangerous drivers.
McFly: Back to the Past for me.
