If blowback means long-term consequences of secret or unknown foreign policies that catch the population off guard and leave them open to false interpretations about the nature of the conflict, backdraft means the short- term consequences of overt policies blowing up right in our face. – author Scott Horton in Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism
Despite government lies that Omar Mateen was driven by repressed homosexuality, in fact, his 2016 Orlando terrorist attack was backdraft from Obama's bombing campaign against the Caliphate he had helped to create in Iraq and Syria just a couple of years before in an attempt to oust Bashar al-Assad from power in Damascus.

Get the Backdraft mug.The (sometimes fatal) rush of hot, noxious gas that escapes from between your legs after farting whilst sitting on the porcelain throne.
This is particularly hazardous when hung over after a night on the Guinness, as the unsuspecting victim hangs their head in shame between their knees, whilst the world falls out of their arse, and a gust of rusty wind has nowhere else to go but to escape up and out from between their legs right into their face.

Get the backdrafting mug.When a controversial event is happening, Urban Dictionary will take a completely one-sided view on the issue, regardless of whether or not it is actually correct, and stand by it no matter what. Anyone who expresses an opposite opinion gets downvoted to hell. This is what is called an "Urban Backdraft."
Now, factor in the fact that Urban Dictionary is extremely left-wing, and you have an anti-conservative crapshoot.
