Nowhere GirlLiving in Texas, nothing irritates me like the condescending apathy of blue state Democrats who think they're safe so none of this matters.
You're not safe.
This blue state / red state mentality where it's all about living in the right place and it's your own fault if you don't is not helping anyone.
Especially when red states power national Republican election victories that affect everyone.
How quickly people forgot what it was like having Trump and a GOP controlled Congress, which is how we got this corrupt SCOTUS in the first place.

Texas is an outlier and not particularly representative of the rest of the country. Getting the rest of the country back on track will probably have little to do with Texas and vice versa.
The reasons are multitude.
The same is true for a couple of other "special islands" within the US.
Suffice to say that Texas people enjoy Texas and aren't going anywhere, and folks who don't enjoy Texas aren't exactly arriving in droves.

What really sucks is that 5 million Texans aren't being represented.
East and West Texas are essentially different states, and I wonder if everyone wouldn't be happier if that was the actuality

Stygian Lizard@semiquaver @dnavinci @gwynnion Lots of people are moving to red states all over. Nashville is huge now. Huntsville is now the biggest city in Alabama. 8M more people are expected to move to Atlanta in the coming years. And it's helping because GA is already starting to flip.
People who say to boycott red states don't understand that it takes money to enact change. And chances are, the phone company you use in blue country donates to J6 senators.
