Your daughter will be fine. She will be 2,000 miles away from you and the sick culture you embrace and may have an opportunity to develop into a reasonable young adult.

Indeed he has the greatest fear liberals have the cure logic ensues.

[Haiku Guy]

Is Texas safe for my California kid?

I dunno. It depends.

Would you consider having your daughter come back home engaged to an actual man and wearing a MAGA hat harm?

[Reno89519]

Living just 5 miles from California, I think my fear is more and real. Just five miles away, an errant turn, a hike too far, and my constitutional rights are gone.

She writes “how odd it is to feel like and outsider” in her own country. Well, that is how most of us who do not live on the East or West coasts feel every day listening to the main stream media’s asinine liberal perspective on everything.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No. Liberals and their stupid ideas are not welcome. Stay in your shit hole state and don’t bring your mental disease elsewhere.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Bathroom bills” are deadly. Tell her not to go to Texas. She’ll die if she does!

[JimRed]

Your daughter will be fine. She will be 2,000 miles away from you and the sick culture you embrace and may have an opportunity to develop into a reasonable young adult.

Just be sure that she maintains her voting address back home and does not inflict your misguided voting habits upon Texas!

The comments following the article in the SacBee are hilarious, must be mostly FReepers since they follow a theme: “Keep your happy ass and your daughter in CA!!”

If this airhead thinks Austin represents a huge cultural shift, wait until she experiences “real” TX: Midland/Odessa, the East TX “piney woods”, the Panhandle, etc.

"Maybe California wasn’t the only place struggling to balance fiscal prudence and human decency."

Really? 'Balance' is not a word in The Lefty Lexicon. I doubt whether there is a Lefty Jurisdiction anywhere in the USA that is balanced - either financially or mentally.

To the author,

PLEASE keep your precious daughter close to you, at all times.

The End.

“Guns, bathroom bills, deportation: Is Texas safe for my California kid?”

---

No, it isn’t. Keep her and yourself far, far away from Texas. Moving to somewhere in Europe or northern Asia isn’t too far. Just stay away.

[A_Former_Democrat]

So your “daughter” is a transgendered male who is here illegally?

If “guns, bathrooms, and deportations” are your “issues” with Texas, then I’d say “she” would be much safer in Texas than with a nutcase parent like you

We see where your daughter is going for an education, Shawn. Let’s pray that she gets one and overcomes all the delusional nonsense that you have taught her.

[Lockbox]

NO! Leave for California and your safe space immediately, run do not walk! Go back to your tofu feed libs.

[M Kehoe]

I’m glad they didn’t come to FL.

Apologies to TX.

We moved from CA to South Dakota specifically because we didn’t want to raise a child in that cesspool.

[WKUHilltopper]

Actually you and your entire family will be much better off in your tyrannical and socialist paradise of North Korea. Get packin’. GTFO of my country!

“Mom, what use will I be if the only people I can relate to are in California and Manhattan?” our daughter asked, laughing. In theory, I knew she was right.

There is an excellent chance that she will relate to Texans just fine, and learn that all the slams against red-staters are fiction; and that Southern Hospitality is a real thing, and personal responsibility, hard work and honesty beat California collectivism.

Oh, and that there are places with clean, litter free streets, low crime, and help-wanted signs in store-fronts.

[TADSLOS]

Stay the Hell out of Texas.
