14. We had all better just face up to it

Texas is a place inhabited only by Republicans and other rednecks who all have COVID-19, but refuse to admit it. The last living Democrat in Texas was LLoyd Bentsen.

Texas is a place that doesn't grow or produce anything, and never really had people like Ann and Cecile Richards, Molly Ivins, Barbara Jordan, Beto O'Rourke, the Castro twins or Jim Hightower. They are all figments of Howard Dean's imagination, made up to justify including Texas in his 50 state strategy.

All polls show Trump winning over Biden in Texas by a margin of 98-2. The 2% are university students who come from other states.

Oh, and the proper spelling and pronunciation of the place is "Tex-ass."

Right? Don't bother answering, I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

BTW, for the several on DU that apparently believe all of the above to be indeed correct:
