Special Pleading
Name of the mental mechanism that allows people to make exceptions to an otherwise self-accepted statement without being hounded by guilt.
Special Pleading in action:
Jack and Kyle are in line at a pizzeria. Jack notices that Kyle ordered 4 slices of pizza and a liter of Coke. Jack thinks that Kyle is a fatass for doing so.
The next day, Jack orders 4 slices of pizza and a liter of Sprite and downs it all for lunch. But, as he's putting the pizza to bed, all he thinks about is how especially hungry he is after skipping breakfast that morning.

Blexas
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.

Ratfucker
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.
