As for texas being a beautiful state, I have no citations, just good memories from my many visits. I will grant you that there are a growing number of oil extraction / fracking hellscape in the state.

An article only talking about what voters may disagree with the government on? Why not address the other issues that keep getting these people reelected? They're winning on some platform. The article says mask and vaccine mandates, and only mentions that the people disagreed on the mask mandates. What about the vaccine mandates? Why leave the polling on that one out?

And a biased article that only cites critics. The Texas grid has had one catastrophic failure in living memory. It also has some of the cheapest electricity anywhere in the country, even the world.
