Well if voting patterns are resulting in this and that, it does warrant raising an eyebrow.
I'm pretty sure I said above that things need changing, yeah.
Where we disagree is that I know change can't occur if nonbelievers such as myself run away, and I know that letting the limb fall off (does that mean evicting us from the Union? I'm not sure) is not really an option. Secession won't happen, not only because of the precedent set by the Civil War, but also because most Texans don't support it.
Like it or not, you're stuck with our 38 Electoral College votes. Changing the often-backwards views down here is in your interest, too.
