Yeah, about Texas all being "Texans first" . . . .

https://www.texastribune.org/2014/04...erican-second/

"Democrats and liberals overwhelmingly identify as Americans before they identify as Texans (84 percent and 92 percent respectively), and while majorities of Republicans and conservatives identify as Americans first, significant proportions (35 percent and 36 percent respectively) identify first as Texans. This difference is a probable reflection of the current Republican statewide dominance and, in turn, each voter’s willingness to identify with the state.".

So that majority of people in Texas identify as Americans first. There's more who identify as Texans first within Republican circles, but that's natural conservatism mixed with toxic exceptionalism.
