I've been to Texas and this checks out.
Don't get me wrong, there are pockets of sanity, Austin is ok. But on the whole it's like some sort of nightmare that the Republicans want to use as a template for the rest of the country.
I felt like Austin was trying way too hard. The city felt like 20% over the top hippies, 40% normalish but traumatized people trying to live their lives, and 40% right wing nut jobs.
That's still much better than most of Texas which seemed like 40% normalish people and 60% right wing nut jobs, though.
Keep Austin Weird!
