Microscoping 

Calling attention to a small detail or attribute that bothers you about someone, or asking them to explain it to you on the spot. Usually something that most people would avoid out of respect, or overlook because of how unimportant it is, especially when done without any segue and derailing the conversation or ruining the vibe.

May be done intentionally to "knock someone down a peg", or unintentionally due to social retardation. The chosen detail may be an insecurity for the microscopee, or may become a new insecurity after the microscoping is complete. The chosen detail may cross a line, leading others to callout the microscoper, or it may be too subtle to warrant a callout.

Guy3: "What's really sad is you microscoping that."

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.
