Laugh Track 

An extremely annoying recording of people laughing that they play in sitcoms that try to be funny but are too supressed by the FCC to allow anything humorous. Usually played at the "funny" moments because most people that watch that crap don't know when to laugh anyway.
The show is bad enough, you don't have to ruin it more by adding that stupid laugh track.

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.
