Why are there so many right-wingers posting out of Texas?

Why are there so many Texans who post apologetics for privilege and power while attacking the poor as "welfare bums" among other things?
Perhaps it's because Mike has been highly indoctrinated into believing
half-truths and outright lies from infancy onwards. Mix it with a dash of Texas patriotism and what you get is an altogether unrealistic worldview that is typical of many Texans.Not all,mind you, but many
and this makes for a very authoritarian society that becomes the laughing stock of the Western world. Not to mention Latin America.
Just my opinion.
