    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.

      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

              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

                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!

            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
