Claustromania 

An uncontrollable obsession with enclosed spaces. Those who experience Claustromania tend to seek out small spaces, like corners.

These individuals tend to prefer facing the "open space" so that their backs are "safe" against the wall.

Usually with Claustromania the person tends to enjoy activities such as cuddling (with as little physical space as possible), love being wrapped in blankets, and prefer to sleep with their back against something solid.

They enjoy wearing reasonably tight clothing, because it'll feel like their entire body is being hugged.

Usually it is incredibly hard for them to fall asleep unless they are cuddling with a pillow, stuffed animal, or sometimes even laying against the wall.

They also like sitting at the edge of classrooms so they can lean their back against something solid, and if standing they will place their side against some sort of edge (be it a table or counter top).

With Claustromania something about being in these enclosed spaces provides a sense of safety and security within the individual.

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.
