Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics 

The unofficial de-facto economic system of Indonesia that punishes foreign businesses and companies that create jobs, and employment opportunities for Indonesians, and contribute substantial tax revenue to the government and by extension, the country's standard of living for doing certain things that offend the delicate sensibilities of the Indonesian people in areas wholly unrelated to the quality of the goods and services delivered by these companies.

i.e., releasing an advertisement that certain people believe looks similar to a conflict happening the middle east that may or may not actually be depicting said conflict, or a franchisee of a fast food chain completely separate from the franchisee in Indonesia donating free meals to the military of a middle eastern country in a conflict.
Makcik: Eh, Abang! You heard that McDonalds is giving free meals to the IDF? How dare they support GENOCIDE??! I think they forgot that under Capitalism with Indonesian Characteristics we can boycott their brands and cause thousands of Indonesians to lose their jobs, investments and lower our standard of living yet still believe we are doing shit to help Palestinians!!

Abang: Hahaha come on lets teach Ronald McDonald the imperialist what we Indonesians are made of!! Indonesia Boleh!!

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.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

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.
