The Back Burner Method 

Method of maintaining a multitude of girls at the same time in order to "pick and choose" which one you want to peruse or have as a primary. Start with one girl; talk to her and gain her interest. Then, if you become bored of girl #1, put her on the "back burner," a state of communication in which you are stringing a girl casually along by keeping her interested. At the same time repeat this process with another girl(while you still have one on the burner) until bored again. Repeat this process until a satisfactory number if girls are on your back burner. You now have a plethora of girl available to be your "primary" girl.

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.
