It truly is, I describe it that way to my husband. He’s lived there before but didn’t grow up there, and doesn’t understand how much stuff like “Texas could secede if it wanted to” is part of Texas mythology that is drilled into your head from a young age by basically every adult around you.
Texas pride is a huge thing; they were actually able to utilize it to lead an incredibly successful anti-littering campaign back in the 80s and 90s. If you drive down most major highways down there, you’ll see signs saying “Don’t Mess with Texas” and listing a littering fee. It lead to a 72% decrease in littering.
Texas feels like America’s America.

Texas pride is old and very deep rooted.
