Blinder's flu

A condition where one feels the inexplicable urge to smoke, drink a certain type of alcohol or do a certain drug because of the main character(s) of a TV show they recently watched who use it recurrently throughout the story.

First observed in Peaky Blinders (hence the name) and the massive epidemic of YouTube comments of fans describing their ailment and the symptoms; most notably an impulsive need to light a cigarette alongside Tommy Shelby.
(YouTube comment #1)
Nobody:
Tommy: Lights a cigarette

(YouTube comment #2)
Me: Trying to quit smoking for 3 weeks now
*Watches the first episode of the show*
Me: Ah, shit. Here we go again.

Jake: (Watches Peaky Blinders)
Mike: Jake, since when did you start smoking?
Jake: I dunno, man. I've started waking up with a pack of cigarettes in my hand and randomly lighting up. I think I might have the Blinder's flu.

Blinders

A bunch of people who follow a specific party. Instead of following someone who will get rid of debt and not get rid of 60,000 jobs under 24 hours like Biden. Also people who get offended of what someone says even though they dont fall under that category and that category doesn't care what someone said.
You are such a blinders.

partisan blinders

Focusing solely on the wrongdoings committed by the "other" political party, while completely ignoring and/or denying the wrongdoings of one's own political party.
Take the partisan blinders off man, your favorite senator is lying to you.
