Well, if we're actually talking TX here, wouldn't that just about put you into Mensa territory - relatively speaking, of course?

Haha yeah texas dumb

Also though, not in terms of IQ. Texas is exactly average, which makes sense because it has a massive population.

Also the mensa cutoff is top 2% of general population or like 130.

It was a joke. I'm honestly dunking on them mainly because I don't care for the dominant political mindset. I know they have the same intelligence mix as most any other large populace.

That's ok, they're only functionally literate. They don't know any better and didn't say it in a way that makes me think they've got the necessary accent to have extra intelligence.

Pretty spot-on, honestly - I chose this moniker because it seemed to fit my "Jack of all trades, master of none" knowledge levels. I know my limitations, and will freely admit to them. That includes not having the IQ-boosting accent.
