Anyone who is a major fan of the Showtime series "Dexter". They can't stop talking about it on Facebook and generally hate season 8. They own all the seasons on DVD and, now that the series is finished, watch them continuously. They frequently debate the "symbolism" of the last episode and can't stand that Dexter has gone from an analyst for the Miami police to a lumberjack.
I can't believe Lisa is so down over Dexter ending. She was just so disappointed with how season 8 ended that she won't stop watching the other seasons. Each day after work she says she needs to get her Dexter "fix" before the evening news and watches at least one episode. She's a Dexaholic.

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.
