    That doesn’t change the fact that, for the most part, the entire state is a disgusting shit hole

    There are some shitty parts of Texas for sure, but “for the most part?” You don’t know this state dude. Texas reliably votes like 55% Republican and 45% Democratic, and there are tons of awesome people, beautiful scenery, and multicultural urban centers here. The state is gerrymandered to hell though

      Which leads to a republican supermajority and governor and a shithole state.

          You seem to be reading things into comments that aren’t there. Texas is a shithole because of the government running the State, not the people suffering through it.

          I’m failing to see where anyone is blaming them for the shit their republican government is doing.

          I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

          Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

      You have to go back to Ann Richards and the 90s to find actual bipartisainship in texas man. I miss a lot of the people and the food especially, but fuck that state went bonkers after GWB and only gets more nuts. Fuck they pardoned Ken Paxton.
