      You mean it has a several well developed left wing voting cities between the huge stretches of backwater redneck hellscapes? I’d love to know what makes Texas not southern…

        Texas is a Southwest state that identifies as Southern, making all of Texas inherently woke

      As a Texan we are not southern ;)

      We are sort of western. But yea too late to the party to be southern imo.

        Depends. Texas exists as a state in part because southern US farmers ran out of land to grow cotton in. A good chunk of Texas is just an extension of the south. Then again, a good chunk is an extension of Mexico. Tejanos don’t get the credit they are due for the formation of the Republic.
