They are proud of everything Texas. To an uncomfortable degree.

Texas has beautiful parts?

Austin is really pretty, and I liked San Antonio too.

Hill country is great. Texas definitely doesn't have the beauty of the west

I think it’s pretty cool how much pride they have in their state.

Try just being on instead of off and on.

Saying it now: MA has a super cool flag! TX, NM and AZ are cool, too. Never...

Decent point. The Utah flag is boring and ugly. The TX and CA flags are cooler

Because it looks so much like the Chilean flag?

LOL.. "not just in areas like San Antonio"

LiveCoug

San Antonio is home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in US

El Fuego

2/22/20 5:15pm

Yes, but why would that be an area that is more apt to show Texas pride?

LiveCoug

Every other house has a Texas and US flag.

El Fuego

2/22/20 5:18pm

For a state that seceded from the US in order to enslave people, you would

It's an interesting culture.

I can never remember which one is the Texas flag and which one is the Chile flag

LeftOfNormal

The blue on the TX flag goes all the way from top to bottom, Chile stops halfway

buffgato

They have a pretty cool history which would some state pride.

Why wouldn’t Texans show pride in the state, culture, and flag? That’s the real question.
