The large scale after school sports programs that kids now are made a part of. This includes soccer, baseball, hockey, gymnastics, ballet and other activities that children participate in after school.
This addresses the over scheduling of children and the parents who have to shuttle them to all these events with the misbegotten hope that their child is "gifted" and we surely go pro, or at least get a scholarship to a post-secondary school.
My daughter is in Soccer, traveling soccer, winter soccer, spring soccer, fall soccer, soccer camp and is on three different teams for each of these groups. My son does the same thing but for hockey. Yesterday I had to declare bankruptcy because we are out of money.

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 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.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
