Despite the so-called "Great California Exodus" that has seen residents leave the state in droves, mostly because of the high cost of living, there are plenty of people bucking the trend and making their way to the Bay Area.
I often work in rural TX. I’ve had a number of Texans suggest I ought to move there, cause muh freedums. Yeah, I target shoot a little, but I’m lefty as hell. I talk about guns sometimes to deflect questions about my politics.
They are so full of themselves. They think because great grandpa was a cowboy that they inherit all his toughness. I don’t know how grandpa lived, but I know Texans today live mostly in air conditioning and love shopping, huge portions, and convenience. They’re fully convinced there is nowhere better on Earth. But no, I’ve been all over the Earth. TX sucks and I’d never move there.
Texas is a very large state; quite larger than not only many states but also many nations. The regular working people there do have high overhead… the property taxes in TX, the home insurance, sales tax, energy costs, water fees and other fees that have been off loaded to municipalities and residents very much makes up for the income taxes one sees in Blue states. So it is not surprising that the average Texan is somewhat a sheltered child who is fed RW news like Fox etc. and believes them. It is not easy to leave the state unless one has the funds to pay for airline tickets for their family. Driving is a commitment that requires adequate paid time off there and back.

Texans are some of the most delusional people on the planet.
On both sides of the political spectrum.
Florida and Tennessee have entered the chat.
Huh. So Texas is to Americans what America is to the world. Interesting.
(I’m mostly joking…)
It’s really accurate, though.
Most texans believe texas is the greatest place on earth while never having even left their state. That’s how delusional they are.
