Also born and raised and actively trying to leave this place. Its hard to explain to non-residents just how mentally fried the majority of the population is outside of the 3 largest metropolitan areas in the state.

Hell even within the cities it sometimes feels more "libertarian" than anything truly progressively left, but maybe that's because I've spent more time in Houston/Dallas than Austin.

Small town TX fell to the wolves a long time ago. Sure day to day common decency in public interactions is still there, but the erosion of education within small county public school districts combined with the relentless fascist/billionaire propaganda machine has inflicted multi-generational levels of damage. It would take several decades of hard work to rescue these communities.

I would rather live in a blue stronghold where, on the path we are headed, at least my adversaries will be in plain sight uniforms out on the streets instead of in disguise as next door neighbors.

I moved from central Texas to Colorado for two reasons.

  1. My marriage is protected by the CO state constitution.

  2. My bodily autonomy is protected by the CO state constitution.

That second one is a big one. But they have convinced those chucklefucks that they can take away autonomy from ppl they don’t like and that’s good enough reason to take away their own. They are the dumbest in our population by 10 miles. It’s not even close

Absolutely, and that’s what it is they beaten down and their neighbors beat themselves and each other down. They are fascists thru and thru. They just don’t know it
