I don't have a lot to share here today, but was reading an article not long ago that I felt was worth sharing. It's about the modern history of my home state of Texas politics and how the politics of Texas have apparently become "the nation's bellwether", which I find to be a very depressing thought. I just thought I'd share it so that others can understand why I find living here as a leftist discouraging. It's just this sense of perpetual hopelessness that sets in, you know?

Wait, what? The only real thing to criticize about Texas is the immense heat and vast emptiness if you're west of Waco or north of Dallas.

If you truly need a hivemind, move to Austin.

While I don't live in Texas, it has world class hospitals, no income taxes, great public schools, a truly fantastic economy, and it's large cities have more cultures embraced than almost anywhere else in the world.

What do you mean Texas has no income taxes?

If I make let's say 50,000 Dollars a year in Texas versus New York, what's the difference in how much money will end up in my pocket after taxes?
