PieFedRemember that Barbara Bush thought that people were happier living in the Astrodome when their homes were washed away by Hurricane Katrina because it was better than where they lived.

Is there honestly anything more cringe than Texas?
Missouri, Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Utah, Oklahoma......
I dunno. No state's population is so full of itself as Texas' is.
I'm told places like Austin are pretty progressive. I don't really know.
Austin is deeply up Austin's ass
Lol yes. And the state government goes out of its way to fuck with anything Austin does that is progressive.
Also it's full of fucking NIMBYs, just look at the camping bans.
Everyone I've met there has been just the most insufferable uber liberal mother fucker. They'll talk about how bad people of color are treated at one moment and then call the cops when they see a black person moving in the next. Like you said, it's NIMBY central. Even people from Houston are less insufferable
I work in the Austin area and have to drive 90 minutes to work because the housing prices in Austin have tripled in the last few years.
So is St.Louis, but it's still in Missouri.
Man, St Louis is a weird city. I've seen a Confederate flag next door to a pride flag next door to a Gadsen next door to a really damn cool museum. Absolutely wild city
Depends on what part of Texas you're talking about. Also, a lot of "Texas pride" is supposed to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
Considering how big Texas is, that must make them incredibly full of themselves.
Yes, wealthy people, like Barbara Bush, existing, and commenting on things about which they have zero knowledge.
Really expected Mississippi to be at the top of the list.
Oh dang yes. The very first.
You forgot North Carolina.
It has some very cool artists there though. I won't write it off entirely. I lived there many years ago.
Non-politically, it’s a great state. Very beautiful; demure even. It’s the shitheads in charge that ruin it for everyone.
