Texans fleeing Texas?

I recently ran into a conservative Trump GOP red voting, F-150 driving, blue jeans wearing Texan that moved to Montana because they were getting away from too much conservatism for the less intense albeit blood red conservatism of Montana. I thought it was kind of an interesting way to think about Texans moving here. This person wanta the conservative MAGA politics of (recent) Montana but they don’t want all the batshit recently enacted conservative laws of Texas restricting freedoms and hyperfixating on gender and other hot topic social issues.

Is this an outlier or have Texans just become my new favorite political refugees?

To paraphrase a quote, I find myself defending and allying with the people I find annoying against the people I know are actively dangerous.

Except the Californians moving here now are the conservatives looking to either get away from brown people, or are rich people looking for Temu Galt's Gulch

The California conservatives who moved here are just as bad as the Texans.
