post 9/11 culture burnout
A term to describe anyone who grew highly accustomed to the culture of the 1990's, and subsequently feels jaded about growing up in the information age, especially since the saturation of mediocrity that has dominated popular culture in the aftermath of 9/11.
Since 9/11, Western Culture lost its integrity, resulting in the following:
The declining quality of mainstream media, the excess of the youth, the superficiality of modern lifestyles, the rise of underage sexuality, the corruption of authority figures, the unethical practises of corporate institutions, the exposure of adult subjects amongst young people, the breakdown of gender roles, the general distrust of society, etcetera

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.

Ratfucker
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
