Some texans have shit opinions yeah but there are a lot of people in texas and many of them simply do not have a say in policy not only due to gerrymandering but also due to wealth. You'll find that conservative controlled states are often much more blatant in their preference for the owning class and unfortunately this means significantly worse social policy and a much more reactionary populace. Designating an entire state as barbaric or deserving of their treatment is just a form of orientalism.
The graphs aren't too important to my point but I had them on hand and thought you may find them interesting. I also want to stress that I am from Texas and very much not part of the right. No amount of voting harder here will fix anything
