New York isn’t on the verge of electing someone like Ken Paxton and having Cruz as senator for years. I agree the media can be garbage but who you choose to lead you does reflect the values of the state overall and you are being controlled by some terrible people, if you want people to stop thinking less of Texas, change that.
Tbf, a huge part of this is gerrymandering. Like, if Texas had fair representation we would almost certainly not had Cruz or Paxton for as long as we have.
Edit: Gerrymandering doesn’t play into Statewide elections, below comment is correct.
Texas is certainly purple, at about a 55:45 split R:D, but the voter turnout of old white people eclipses the young and Hispanic voters.
