TX just thinks it’s “conservatives” because Republcians hold all but one of the thirty or so statewide constitutional offices. The exception is a seat on the state Supreme Court held by a Republican-turned-Democrat. The House Speaker is one known to pander to the Democrat minority to keep him in the seat with little opposition.
I wouldn't argue too much with your statement, which is why I carefully worded my assertion by pointing out the legislature only meets every 2 years. When I moved here over 30 years ago, the state was largely run by fiscally liberal democRats who where socially conservative by today's standards. Baring the election of GWB, TX has done a pretty remarkable job at electing the most conservative candidate possible. And the other noteworthy thing that I pointed out, besides the $billions so far of TX taxes we spend to defend against an illegal invasion - to those who don't realize how information finds its way into K through 12 textbooks - TX is the epicenter of fighting for accuracy and against what liberals want to bathe the young, pliable mind in - to indoctrinate the next generation of useful idiots. It's a real "knock down drag out" between atheists teamed with the LGBT(lostTrackOfTheRest) community against the "flat earth bigots" (i.e. Christians).
