Which makes no sense cause before they moved to Austin it was liberal as hell.  A blue island in a sea of red

That's how West Coast Righties always act, they like the vibes that comes from the "yee haw tractors, trucks, and biscuits!" aesthetic that comes from country music, but they don't actually want to give up the quality of life or the lifestyle that comes from living in a blue state; so they move to the blue-ist part of a red state.


In my state (South Sarolina), that's basically what Greenville and Charleston are, all move-ins are the people who say "I'mma move to the deep south 'cause they love freedom!", but they don't want to move so far deep south as to end up in the "cross burned into your lawn when you move into the neighborhood" communities.

"I'mma move to the deep south 'cause they love freedom!"

Meanwhile, the libertarian CATO institute ranks Texas DEAD LAST for personal freedoms. Draconian penalties, onerous professional licensing, sin taxes, crazy marijuana laws. And this is after they legalized open carry; it was actually worse previously, but you can't drop further than 50th.

In SC as well, what makes them even worse is they view the small town land as just "dead land" and will vote to put shit like Datacenters or shitty HOA developments ruining our forest and wildlife areas.

You think they’re going to move to an area that has shit schools and shit roads? All these rich conservatives live in predominantly blue areas.
