MODERATORS
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons.
They elect politicians who lie to them because any time they encounter a new thought they revert to fear and racism.
But also remember that over 4.8 million Texans voted against Trump which is more than the population of at least half of the other states in America. There are more Democrats in Texas than people in other states. Many of their votes are not heard due to the Republicans in power and, not to mention, local candidates who run as Democrats and turn coat.
AND that's not even counting how 'right wing' Democrats are. Yeah, 'proud Texans' by and large suck. You're not wrong.
