Never met anyone who was proud to be from Texas that wasn’t a massive piece of shit. Feels like everyone decent living there hates it and wants to leave.
I’m definitely proud to be from Texas. Having a terrible state government does not define me or my community. I love where I live and can frankly count the number of Trump supporters I engage with on a daily basis on one hand
I live on the outskirts of Harris County, one of the greatest bastions of blueness in the entire state, and I can tell you you’re gonna need more hands to count the Trump supporters you’ll encounter around here.
Where in Texas are you from?
'cause only self-superior graduate students and sheep-fuckers talk like that
Your attempt at an analogy is offensive to the reality faced by Anne Frank. Whatever dude, you’re not able to define my experience either from wherever you are
Are they though? Republicans are awful everywhere. I also think the Texas Legislature is a surprising place, the House in particular, where rural Republicans align with Democrats on a number of issues and regularly kill bills together. Of course none of that stuff hits national headlines though, just the bad stuff that gets through. All I’m saying is thank gods I don’t live in Florida
No, there are some states where they’re in par with Texas Republicans, or almost, but I’m general, Texas Republicans are worse than those in other regions.
I dunno, whatever dipshit decided to disconnect Texas from the power grid the rest of the country is on and killed a bunch of people that one winter. Haven’t seen another state do that yet
The first blackout-- yeah that’s right, they did it to us twice-- my mom fell in the kitchen in the dark and hit her head. She was in a coma for a year then died. Fuck Greg Abbott.
There’s plenty the state could have done to prevent that through regulation, a plan was even outlined in a state report following a similar but less severe event in 2011. They could have mandated natural gas plants and wind turbines to winterize, most importantly. Many of those deaths fell directly on the heads of Rick Perry and Greg Abbott, who collectively appointed every member of the Public Utility Commission that failed to implement that plan.
And also, that weather event was unprecedented in Texas recorded history in terms of its severity and its duration. No one who lives here had ever experienced anything like it, because the weak jet stream that caused the polar vortex to sag down to fucking Texas is a direct result of climate change and was new. I blame Texas state leadership, who don’t represent me or my interests, for many of the deaths, but I’m not blaming any people or government for having difficulty containing a disaster of that magnitude. After Superstorm Sandy, over 8 million people in NY/NJ lost power. In New England in 2008, millions of people lost power for almost 2 weeks after an ice storm. Severe weather fucks shit up
I’d just like to say that being from Texas by itself doesn’t indicate anything. Many million people here are not Republicans

As you suspect, the progressive-minded aren’t exactly boasting about being from Texas these days. You’ve probably met plenty of us and had no idea.
Back when Ann Richards was Governor, however…
I’m definitely proud to be from Texas. Having a terrible state government does not define me or my community. I love where I live and can frankly count the number of Trump supporters I engage with on a daily basis on one hand
What are you proud of? We’re not talking about your little piece of it, we’re talking about Texas en masse.
In a lot of ways, that’s like Anne Frank being proud of her attic
Which year at university are you?
I ask because only children and sophomores talk like this.

Well if furries count, then via your mother I would technically be a kind of sheep-fucker.
She’s a baaaaaaad woman but a great lay. Kudos to papa!
Ehhh, too many words. Brevity is the soul of wit. C-.

toughen up Skippy
and go tone police somewhere else
You often try to belittle people you’re conversing with?
Only the obnoxious snotty ones
No, but the Republicans are extra shitty there.

No, there are some states where they’re in par with Texas Republicans, or almost, but I’m general, Texas Republicans are worse than those in other regions.
For example?

Yeah, you asked for an example of exceptionally shitty republicans in Texas and got an answer.
I asked for evidence they were worse than Republicans nationally. They aren’t, the entire party is like this now everywhere they have power
