The social indoctrination to the bar scene that occurs on or immediately after one's twenty-first birthday. Typically, the guest of honor on a "21 run" is forced to consume copious amounts of alcohol in a short amount of time. This often results in illness, and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness. The prototypical "21 run" occurs from 12:01 AM until 2:00 AM on the participant's birthday, this time being the first at which said individual is legally eligible to consume alcohol.
A man's friends who are already twenty-one pick him up and take him to the bars one minute after he turns 21, at 12:01 AM on a "21 run."

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.
