It's not just "one of the 50." Texas is now an authoritarian shithole and (also Florida) a blueprint for the GOP for how they want to rule all the other 50 should they get all branches of government. Deal with it. Women there have no bodily anatomy and likely soon, no more right to live if they have an ectoplasmic pregnancy because of a god that they may or may not acknowledge but the state government does. If the state government could have their way, they'd probably not hesitate to roll back women's right to vote and execute LGBTQ individuals. Fuck Abbott.
And have you seen some of Texas' laws? Be they labour laws or laws like women not having body autonomy? Batshit insane gun laws? Or them being the 2nd worst state for mass shootings in 2023, and worst in 2022?
Idk, from an outsider looking in, Texas seems like a complete and utter shithole.
