    Agreed.

    California’s statewide vibes are mask-on liberalism with techbro characteristics but Texas has a stench of chuddery to it that’s been persistent every time I’ve been anywhere there.

    Don’t get me started about Fort Worth. Brief image to share: imagine a parade of meemaw smoothskin with 4-8 Burgerland flags on each of their mobility scooters all in a parade formation and rolling around public walking space (what little there was in Stroadland) deliberately trying to ram into or at least drive off people walking while beeping their little horns and yelling “COMING THROUGH” for some Trump-knows-what reason. joker-amerikkklap

      My neighborhood in Houston is full of legitimately good chill people who would fit into a bodega in Brooklyn as easily as a tackle shop in Kentucky. Its frustrating because I grew up in a neighborhood where people were legit just a bunch of selfish reckless assholes and this ain’t it. They’re not invested in the culture war crap, they don’t want a War with China or to crucify trans kids or whatever. But the power-mad fascists running the state government are just kinda railroading through insane bullshit because they can. Its enervating to just watch it all wash over us like a tidal wave of shit.
