A compound of clap and laughter made to describe the reaction that social justice Advocates when they see a "comedian" they like. No laughter is actually involved and the person initiating the reaction is not really a comedian but rather a social justice Advocate giving a speech. Whenever the "comedian" makes a point the audience likes they clap and this is what we refer to as Claughter.

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.
