I'm surprised Texas is so high, but I'm not surprised that NJ is low, isn't there an old meme to the effect that New Jersey smells bad/ is full of toxic industrial chemicals or something?
Texas may have some crap politics statewide, but the major cities are top notch and Hill Country is a national treasure, same goes for the brisket and the old style country music.
One of these days I’ll get down to Big Bend and up to the mountains in the west.
I recently got down to Austin and was lucky enough to see the bats fly out from the bridge downtown. Millions of bats, was a sight to behold.
I'm in the process of preparing for a move to San Antonio, and the thing I'm genuinely scared about is the politics. This admin, the governor, being gay, on the left... The whole idea is very frightening, to be honest. I'm hearing good things about San Antonio, though, and I'm hoping being in a city will insulate me from the other stuff a bit
the new mayor is openly gay, if that's any reassurance to you.
There is! They even joke about it in Futurama.
Conservatives are more tribal, and will vote favorably for "their" states and unfavorably for "liberal" states with more consistency than liberals. Hence conservatives' like of Texas and dislike of Cali shines through, while a liberal would probably think that there are some things to like about Texas and dislike about Cali, and get washed out in the data.
