Reasonably accurate. Most people don’t understand that the regions of Texas are pretty diverse, except maybe politically. The state has taken such a turn for religious monarchy in the past few years, I barely recognize the Texas of my youth. I miss the actual weirdness of Austin, the plucky Ann Richard’s type democrats, the lack of tech bros, the country feeling like the country instead of suburbs of the nearest city.
“Texas” is not a monolith. It’s like five different states staple-gunned together.
And then gerrymandered to shit
