    And quite frankly, a significant number of Texans. Those people in Texas’s government are only in the government because a massive chunk of people voted them in, and then another massive chunk said “I don’t care lol”.

      Austin and Houston have fairly liberal populations.

      But yeah, it sucks here. 1/6 of the texan population are immigrants, and 10% aren’t citizens and can’t vote. The right want you to victim blame. I’d encourage you to see it as people being oppressed by an overreaching corrupt government, similar to Florida. Sure there are idiots and racists but a lot of it is voter suppression and disenfranchisement
