“Texas” is not a monolith. It’s like five different states staple-gunned together.

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.
