A god- like figure who lives my night and sleeps by day just like Batman except way cooler. When he speaks, his voice silences all. When he sings, it is just like that of Chester from Linkin Park. When he raps, people relate him to Eminem and Mike Shinoda. Everybody loves Hensen. He has no flaws and people may know him as "Triple H". All the girls have posters of him in their bedrooms. Hensen is often caught walking in his new jeans and LP shirt he got from Projekt Revolution with headphones in his ears pumping to LP. Everybody respects Hensen and if you don't Hensen will stone cold stun your ass.
A:Why is everyone getting on their knees?
B:Cause Hensen Hong is here bitch!

"I'd like to introduce our idol Hensen Hong. He's here to open up with Crawling at Projekt Revolution. Give it for the one and only Hensen Hong! (crowd roars)"
-Chester from Linkin Park.

A worshipper of Chris Hansen.
Oh so you thought that I was kidding. Well that's alright because the revolution is just now beginning. Hansenite will be a word on Urban Dictionary. You can hide from the truth all you want. Chris Hansen is not a single person, he is everything (and your real father). May the Spirit of Hansen live on!

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.
