"Assistance from Hell", where the would-be "Good Samaritan" ends up just causing massive damage and/or making the situation worse with his well-meaning but ineffective/bumbling/destructive attempts to assist or rescue someone.
A classic example of Archie Andrews' demonstrating his high-strung kind-heartedness which usually ends up being nothing but "hellp": ignoring his elderly school-principal's vigorous declining protests, Archie repeatedly attempts to assist Mr. Weatherbee to get his yellow Volkswagen Beetle started, but ends up just completely wrecking the car and frightening Mrs. Weatherbee into a total frenzy.

It’s been a hell of a war! 

A expression one can either yell or speak with a quiet dignity to comrades when advancing towards almost certain death. This saying moved from insider military slang into popular consciousness through Hollywood’s portrayal of Vietnam era battles that foreground moments of suicidal bravado.
Gentlemen, we are outnumbered and almost out of ammo; It’s going to go hand to hand. It’s been a pleasure serving with you; and: it’s been a hell of a war!
Ah hell aren't you ever gonna get it right.

“All skin folks ain’t kin folk; and all pale beings ain’t hell-beings.” 

“All skin folks ain’t kin folks ; and, all pale beings ain’t hell-beings.” — in an era of history where DEMOCACY ITSELF is endangered world wide, we would all be well served to realize: “All skin folks ain’t king folk; and all pale beings ain’t hell-beings.”

The only possibility for saving Democracy is coalition building across racial, gender, religious, economic, and political lines with the conscious intention of saving Democracy so that we all can fight about it later.

The danger of being TRIBAL in a GLOBAL world is the possibility of Global Thermonuclear Annihilation — an Existential Vampire that has found a way to gather its ashes; reattach its severed head; remove the stake from its heart; and anoint these remains with the blood of the Ukrainian People — who are currently fighting a proxy war for our freedom.

We can all be a little bigger; or we can all be cinders scattered on a cinder. If we can’t fight the raging fires caused by climate change and the environmental damage of the earth 🌍; then I’m pretty sure we don’t have a solution for the fires caused by tactical nuclear weapons.

“All skin folks ain’t kin folks; and all pale beings ain’t hell-beings.”
Youngin, you better listen to this old man and learn; you can’t fight every battle by yourself: “All skin folks ain’t kin folk; and all pale beings ain’t hell-beings.” We all need each other; and we all need allies.
A term uttered by r/anarchychess users upon being told (or if someone else is told) to google en passant.

people in hell want ice water 

A common response to the superfluous wants of someone in which situation there is either no ability or desire to respond to said wants. In other words, people in hell may want ice water, but the Devil has no desire to give it to them because they're in hell and now they have to deal with it.
Johnny: Dad, I really want a new BMW since Jason down the street got one.

Dad: Well, people in hell want ice water. You're going to continue to drive your 1999 piece-of-shit Toyota.

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.
