After Uvalde, that Texan braggadocio looks sillier than ever.

Don't mess with Texas (unless you have a gun).

Don't mess with Texan citizens.

Feel free to make a fool out of Texan police officers.

It's exceptionally rare for me to watch sports, but when I do (usually just because it's on a TV at a restaurant), I always root against Texas if they're playing, no matter who they're playing against, just because I think people from Texas need to be taken down a couple notches.

Texas has the best BBQ in the country, I'll give them that, but everything else about their state pride is just weird to me. Especially their ridiculously stupid power grid that I don't understand why the voters haven't done something about.

Yeah, because more than likely the power is out.

Yep, the robbers just shoot you or wait for you to be asleep.

Or smile at you through the kitchen window while they disconnect the running air conditioner.

Despite our bravado and ammosexuality, it turns out Texans are people like everywhere else.
