Texas? Or Alabama?

Or maybe "Texabama"?

“What’s it going to take before you realize that your family values, my-sin-is-better-than-your-sin, conservative voting approach has produced a state government filled with lying, cheating, sexually assaulting, money-grubbing criminals who have embarrassed us countless times, and on top of everything, mismanaged the hell out of this place?” 
New styles of architecture?  A change of heart?

All I can say is, Texas is now the second most populous state in the country, which means a lot of people have moved here in my lifetime.  And the political culture of the state has not changed one jot; if anything, it's moved backwards since the days of John Nance Garner and Sam Rayburn and even the Killer Bees.  I can't explain it because it's not like everyone living here now was born and raised on post-Reconstruction Southern politics, but they sure act like they were.

Nowt so queer as folk.
