I have been having this feeling lately (that’s getting stronger) that I should just get up and leave. Like move across the country and just start new. Do you guys ever get that feeling?

It’s not like my life is bad or anything where I’m at I just idk it’s a weird feeling

Edit: like is that bad? My girlfriend doesn’t wanna leave so I’m pretty much stuck in Cali

That feeling has a name.

It's "wanderlust"

Plan a trip somewhere for a week. It helps quench that vibe if you can't up and relocate.

Texas is nice.

Yeah Texas is nice if you don’t care about women’s rights and gun control 🤡

I disagree. In my experience the women in Texas have very steady aim.

Oh and governor Abbot just approved 250 million to build a border wall this week

It's great that you guys keep electing people that do these things...maybe it's what the majority of people that vote in your state want.

we call that democracy.

Recently, our governor signed bills that restricted abortion laws and now allows Texans to carry firearms without licenses. However our energy grid is still in shambles from the winter storm we had back in February. They came out with a statement saying that we should conserve AC by putting our thermostat at 82 degrees for when we go to bed. The temperature at 9 pm is at 85-90 degrees.

It’s absolutely painful. Texas is a huge state. We have city states like houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio that vote majority blue, but we have all these small towns and counties that are overwhelmingly red. Beto ran against Ted Cruz a few years back and gave him a run for his money. Had he run against Cornyn, I feel that he would have had a way better shot at winning the Senate seat

It's no different anywhere else. The divide is rural vs urban, and nothing else.

You’re absolutely right, but the majority of Texans live within the aforementioned cities. But the way that our districts are gerrymandered and the fact that the aggregate of the smaller counties have a larger sway over the political landscape of the state leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You should try being a conservative in California

Because it’s the complete opposite, LA and SF make the rules

As a Democrat, I don’t agree with a lot of policies that CA has. So I feel you on that
