    Is there honestly anything more cringe than Texas?

        I dunno. No state’s population is so full of itself as Texas’ is.

          I’m told places like Austin are pretty progressive. I don’t really know.

              Lol yes. And the state government goes out of its way to fuck with anything Austin does that is progressive.

              Also it’s full of fucking NIMBYs, just look at the camping bans.

                Everyone I’ve met there has been just the most insufferable uber liberal mother fucker. They’ll talk about how bad people of color are treated at one moment and then call the cops when they see a black person moving in the next. Like you said, it’s NIMBY central. Even people from Houston are less insufferable

                  Yeah that’s every Democrat Liberal “Haven” just insufferable liberals with money thinking that makes them better enough to speak on behalf of others.

                  You want to go where people are actually progressive or understand the struggle, find the city sections where people still work for their meager bread. You start to understand why every single city would go blue until the Democrats lost even their pretend love for the working class. It’s hard to not want actually better for others when you are surrounded by people also struggling but making it work.

                  Austin is a place for people who only pretend to know strife and have the money to hide it anyways.

                    Yeah, most liberal havens suck in similar ways, but Austin is pure distilled NIMBY-ism of another level

                I work in the Austin area and have to drive 90 minutes to work because the housing prices in Austin have tripled in the last few years.

              Man, St Louis is a weird city. I’ve seen a Confederate flag next door to a pride flag next door to a Gadsen next door to a really damn cool museum. Absolutely wild city

          Depends on what part of Texas you’re talking about. Also, a lot of “Texas pride” is supposed to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

        Yes, wealthy people, like Barbara Bush, existing, and commenting on things about which they have zero knowledge.

          It has some very cool artists there though. I won’t write it off entirely. I lived there many years ago.

            Non-politically, it’s a great state. Very beautiful; demure even. It’s the shitheads in charge that ruin it for everyone.
