Hypeirony 

Hype-irony (hi-pi-row-ny) -; The act of being somewhat of a wingman and hyping something a person said with at least 3 people present all in all, while at the same time applying sarcasm in a way that the majority of the people that are present sense that you actually think said person is a blatant idiot.

It's important to do it in a convincing, hype-esk fashion. Otherwise, it's just regular sarcasm. Let hypeirony be a surprise element. If you're in an office environment, limit the amount of hypeirony and spread it out evenly during the course of a week, and apply hypeirony when the noise level at the office is at the lowest.

Closely related to trolling.
At a party:

Person 1: Hey, let's put more Adele on the playlist!
Person 2: Yeah, let's put more Adele on the playlist, she's awesome! (Hypeirony)

At the office:

Person 1: Frank better deliver that report in time
Frank's office friend in the back of the office: Yeah, he totally has to deliver, or else you'll get him! (Hypeirony)

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.
