Sorry to those living Texas, but is just as ruined as California.
When planning my escape, I looked 3 states from the border, no closer. I’ve been through all the border states and lived in 2.
Get far from the border and go rural.
People here in East Tennessee are the nicest. I didn’t know anyone either, but am making friends. As long as you’re not here to change things, people are very accepting.
My brothers fiance is very Conservative, so is her family, they live in Modesto, she said her brother is the most Conservative person living in California, I said obviously he’s never met me LOL. Yeah you are right I would never want to live in Austin, reminds me of Santa Monica..it would just be weird making a fresh start, knowing no one but I guess you have to start somewhere right and at least I would be surrounded by level minded people, instead of here, surrounded by Commies
