Sankofa viewing
Sankofa viewing — Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana. The literal translation of the word and it associated symbol is “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.”
In contemporary parlance a Sankofa viewing is going back and watching to prior episodes of a series that you are bingeing to both refresh your memory and to see if the series is well written.
By tracing the backstories of the major characters you will easily be able to tell if the story arcs are well planned; or, if a group of writers are just throwing some third act plot twist shite against a wall to see if it will stick!!!!!
For practicing this art I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE WALKING DEAD OR ANY OF ITS CLONES because you will be terribly disappointed by the writing and a group of writers were throwing a lot of third act plot twist shite against the wall to see if it would stick!!!!!!!
The Sopranos, on the other hand, will not disappoint and rewards rewatching, They were telling you where it was going from episode one.
Amazingly, when you get good at this with binge watching visual mediums, it may be useful to read a book or two. Most good books reward a Sankofa Reading. After all, isn’t that why writing was invented?
But, ya gotta start somewhere.

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.
