Is texas a democracy ? trick question because Americans tend to be unable to deal with the contradiction

  The world isn't black and white, it's not either/or. Democracies come on a spectrum. And if you measure "democracy" by representation of the population in the elected leaders, the State Senate is 33% Democratic, the House is 40% The cities are Democratic, the rural areas Republican. The state has had both Republican and Democratic Governors in it's history, with some times the Democrats controlling all three seats of power. Seems pretty democratic to me.
