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.
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…
I mean, it’s certainly disgusting white trash enough. It’s got a lot of similar characteristics. Although I think eating horse turds to celebrate a championship is pretty unique. So they’ve got that and the throwing batteries at Santa thing to separate themselves. Fuck Philly.
Okay, not my point. The point is that part of the human condition is that the more urban you are the more liberal you will be.
Someone in a rural environment does not see the problems that someone in an urban environment does which means the two groups have different priorities, look at New York. You see the same trend of blue in the cities and great big swaths of red everywhere else. Same for Washington State, same for California, really just pick a state and you’re going to see this trend.
It’s in no way a uniquely Southern thing. It’s just the fact that if your closest neighbor is 3 miles away and you know everyone in town, the scope of your problems are going to be pretty limited. That’s because you don’t know anyone who has the problems the city folk are complaining about, so the magnitude of the problems are lost on you.
Y’all is not Texan. Y’all is Southern and Texas is Southern wannabe.
See also: Florida.
Florida is so redneck that they crossed a threshold into its own category. Florida Man.
too weird to live… too rare to die…
As a Texan we are not southern ;)
We are sort of western. But yea too late to the party to be southern imo.

Stranger, I hope you can beat a full house.
If you use both hands, it’ll take half as long.
Is it the salsa or is it getting hot in here?

Texas is a Southwest state that identifies as Southern, making all of Texas inherently woke
By that logic Pennsylvania is Southern… And Washington State… And probably most of the country.

I love classism
I love not smelling like rotting piss stained rags.
