The 2010s 

The second decade of the 21st century, lasting between 2010 and 2019.

There were certainly a lot of problems with this era (specifically its latter half), particularly regarding political divisiveness and the oversaturation of "pop politics" in general. However, while these issues could rarely be totally avoided, at the end of the day they were easy to distract yourself from if you prioritized living your life.

By contrast, the 2020s thus far have been characterized by a global pandemic and its effects on our lives. Unlike the issues found in the 2010s, these ones are nearly impossible to avoid due to the fact that most of the resources we utilized in the 2010s to live our lives either ended temporarily or permanently, or became associated with danger and recklessness.

While the 2010s were a highly imperfect decade, they were very liveable and generally had more positives than negatives, especially compared with the 2020s so far. As such, the 2010s will for a long time be seen as the last decade of comfort and normalcy.
Back in the 2010s I could go to restaurants, events, etc. to make myself feel better if life got too overwhelming. In 2020 most of these resources didn't exist, and even now they are less accessible and less associated with relaxation than they were in the 2010s.

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.
