I believe you are referring the bourgeoisie democracy of Texas, which is pretty much strengthened while the minority are basically stuck at this level. While I agree with your statement, I should add the people here aren't so bad but what suck is that they will not be properly taught in school, which is worse then Canada, they mentions that anyone can go out with anyone as long it is consent.
It is pretty much bullshit we can't do shit in Texas basically because the reactionaries going to be more even reactionary every time it get pushed. However, I think Texas have more leftist potential than Florida does because we have oil factories in the SE which is heavily unionized and Tejanos being oppressed, also we have many minorities.
What I'm saying is that we should start creating alternative culture in Texas because there isn't one that values leftist ideology as many people don't fit in the scene that bourgeoisie Texans does such as White Cowboys.
