I’m surprised Mississippi isn’t on that list. I assume this is 1 at worst because while I have no doubt Arizona and Kansas suck major ass, they can’t be worse than Tennessee and Alabama.

Also surprised Indiana made the list. Godsawful hellhole sure, and impressively so given its neighbors, but I always pictured it as a mundane shittiness. I think of Indiana like I think of Iowa, firstly I don’t, but when I do it sucks but not like, on par with Alabama and texas, more in a “yeah it’s like the bastard child of Michigan and Iowa” there’s nothing to do in the farmland or suburbs, and gang violence in the former industrial areas, all with none of the remotely effective policy of Illinois, Ohio, or Michigan.

I've seen eta used a lot, like you did. For me, it always meant "estimated time (of) arrival". What does it mean in your context?

Don't forget that Texas is home to over 200 megachurches, which includes the likes of Joel Osteen, and that's not by accident.

I don't think DeSantis has given up yet.

The trick is to never do anything too flashy and just keep focusing on your fundamentalists.

It's not just racism though. It's also misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+.

When pressed they all avoid giving a single concrete example

Just like all the brainwashed idiots who say they'll never vote for a Democrat but they don't know why. Because conservative propaganda says they're evil.

Welcome, neighbor! Make sure to get out and enjoy our beautiful scenery.

Moving to the PNW next week after over 40 years in this god damned state.

you've got stamina; i could only handle 5 years in austin before it's conservative bigotry made me leave.

Pretty good. You can even molest one or two of your child relatives and the Governor will pat your back over it and send you on your way.

I don’t mean to be a dick, but I was born in and have driven through Texas, and most of the state is a barren wasteland.
