SlowVertake

the art of overtaking another vehicle (usually a motorbike overtaking a car or cars) as slowly as possible with almost no acceleration to speak of so as to selfishly get what you want while simultaneously maximizing the inconvenience of everyone around you (especiallyy the 4 guys behind you who'd really like to and could also overtake if you would just speed up or get the fuck out of the way!).
Question Guy: Why are you late?

Answer Guy: I got stuck behind this douchebag who was an absolute master of the SlowVertake. I swear every car on the way here was doing 40kmh and he overtook all of them at 41kmh max without letting anyone get by him. Fucking prick... Hope he dies in a fire.

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.
