I guess there are plenty of folks out there that would say the same about where you are from.
Oh man, I’m from the Northeast. I say the same thing about where I am from.
But Texas is full of people, surely. And it’s large and diverse. But overall my experiences with Texans from all sections of the state are on par with my experiences with New Yorkers.
And likewise with the “’But’ republicans”. Those who are all for freedom... but... Many in Texas do this, just like in Connecticut.
NY is like a big Austin. There just aren’t good people there doing good things.
