Slow down. Nearly every other Texan I know cares about all of those things. And yet, we can still find 100s of things that also make this state a great place to live. Most non-Texans (especially here) tend to reduce us to a red state, whereas every single election demonstrates a battle not unlike that occurring nationally – where the progressive urban populations tend to vote blue while hundreds of rural counties want us to go back to the 50s. It doesn’t help that we are represented by a reprehensible governor. I get it. But waving the flag for how much Texas sucks does literally nothing for us.
