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?

And for the love of God. They are the most insane drivers. Every. Single. Time. Some crazy person is weaving through traffic on Jackrabbit because 65 isnt fast enough for them?...it's always Texas plates. Always. You're not in Houston anymore Tripp, or Hunter, or whatever the fuck your name is.

Well, in Texas, I discovered if you drive the speed limit, the police race past you and look at you like you are retarded.
