Triton Vision

The UCSD equivalent of beer goggles, without the beer. UCSD students find that upon beginning school, there are no attractive people on campus, but by the end of fall quarter, begin to discover that there seems to be an influx of cuter boys!

This "influx of cuter boys" however, is all a mirage. What has happened is that these UCSD students are inflicted with "Triton Vision" - because they have been surrounded by ugly men for so long, their standards have dropped and as a result even mildly decent looking men (aka with regular human features) begin to appear stunningly attractive.

This disease is a serious one and is only cured when one leaves the campus perimeter to go home, where one realizes that there are actual men with musculature and clear skin, have the social IQ higher than an 8-year-old, and like to think about sex more than microbiology or astrophysics in the world.

However, this is a recurring disease - once one returns to campus the cycle repeats itself. Triton Vision will never be completely cured until one graduates from UCSD..... or transfers out.

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.
