Philosterbater 

1. Someone who philosterbates (gets off on hearing himself talk, usually about philosophical issues).
2. One who attempts to impress others with seemingly deep (but in truth vacuous) discourse about such matters as ontology, epistemology, metaphysics, eudaimonia, and hermeneutics. Such persons may astound some of their audience, but others may see them as pretentious, narcissistic, and self-delusional.
The philosterbater is usually a callow young man who is greatly impressed by such unanswerable questions as:
· What is existence?
· Why does anything exist rather than nothing?
· What are the limits of human knowledge? Is knowledge even possible?
· Why is there air?
· Is there any advantage to living in the universe?
Philosterbaters tend to attract persons of their ilk and to drive away others; accordingly, their audiences tend to be collections of like-minded philosterbaters who sit around in a virtual circle and philosterbate each other to climax.
Brian is such a philosterbater! I'll bet he gets off three or four times a day on that stuff, but what he doesn't know is that everyone else is laughing behind his back.

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.
