Conrad von Hötzendorf

Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf (1852-1925) was an Austro-Hungarian Feldmarschal and Chief Of Staff of the Austro-Hungarian military until 1917. He is famous for his grandiosely embarrassing failures in Serbia (1914), Russia (1914-1915 read Siege of Przemyśl) and Italy (1915-1917 until battle of Caporetto). He was heavily interested in old style warfare, which just didn't work anymore in the new modern era. This particular played a huge role in his failures. He is widely considered a meme and the YouTube channel The Great War even used him on their merch. He is widely considered the guide for "how not to fight a modern war".
Person 1: Hey did you hear about Conrad von Hötzendorf?

Person 2: Of course! He is the guide for how not to fight a modern war!

Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

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.
