SCAmping 

Like glamping (upscale camping), SCAmping involves overdoing it. However, instead of wifi, furniture, a plasma tv, and running water, SCAmpers bring medieval garb, multiple chests of clothing and feast gear, musical instruments, suits of armor, and coolers of mead, meat, and bread. The SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) is a medieval reenactment society which often has events in the outdoors, requiring people to bring their own accommodations.

SCAmpers are also known for the size of their tents; competitions can erupt. Giant pavilion tents, attached shower tents, and tents with multiple bedrooms and even attics make appearances.
Most of the time, me camping involves my three-room event pavilion tent, two chests of garb and feast gear, three coolers of bread, meat, and mead, a nice cd mp3 player so I can play madrigals and Scots ballads, and an adjoining shower tent (hey, you try wearing a chemise, corset, bodice, hoops, underskirt, overskirt, hair covering, and leather boots in mid-July, and you'll want a shower too). SCAmping is WAY beyond glamping.

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.
