this is pretty my family's view on this stuff (except some of the grandparents but theres not much to do but wait there). Texas has some very loud people that are all kinds of *ists and *phobics but the majority of people are much more along the lines of "the fuck that got to do with me". I'll skip the more political bits (bc its off topic here) but I bet if we could get rid of America's two party system Texas would instantly tell both parties to fuck all the way off.
also, Texas is not a desert. this is unrelated but its a common misconception. the closest we have to a desert is hill country which is in central Texas and is not a desert.

Id say most of America has "the fuck that got to do with me" attitude. And its a problem because that attitude carries forward to the voting booth. It's why ~40% of Americans didn't vote in 2024. The average citizen feels broadly disconnected from the government. Congress maintains a like 10-20% approval rating but forget the general people dont vote in the primaries either except for the old and rich.

Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well..

Man, they captured their characters so well. I can really hear these images.

Texas does have desert. About 10% of the state is desert, specifically the Chihuahan desert, the largest one in North America. I'm a 6th generation native of the Hill Country, and its very far from desert as you said. Primarily oak and juniper woodlands and grasslands. Surprised you picked the Hill Country as "the closest to a desert" when the Llano Estacado and Permian basin are much more arid and devoid of trees and other vegetation.
I agree with everything else you said. Texas has bad PR, and a hostile gov that hates everyone here, especially their own base.

I wonder if this will come up in the new show?

Deep East Texas native living in Houston checking in. My cousin lives out in Odessa, TX. If that place ain't a desert I don't know what is.

The very first episode of the renewal had a nod to it. Hank was confused but respectful. "Peggy, are we all gender?"

I thought none if what Texas has was classified as arid dessert, mb. i chose hill country because I've never really spent much time in west Texas and it was the closest to a desert that I was familiar with, and I didn't express that correctly.

You're all good. Hill Country is def drier than anything east of it.

The CIA sex change ray is real, I believe it. Some months ago a man in a black trenchcoat pointed his umbrella at my friend. Recognising the transgun, I leaped in front of him and took the bullet. Now ai find that I'm growing my hair out and spending 500% more time in the shampoo and conditioner aisle, or staring longingly at the pretty colours in the women's section of the department store from my vantage point in the grey and blue menswear section. I know I'm done for, my future is all pink, but at least I can get the word out about these shadowy spooks enfeminating innocent men at random.

I mean sure but one set of billionaires is nazis and keeps on giving themselves tax cuts on the backs of everyone else. Not to mention oppress minorities, take away freedoms and just be all around terrible. While the other set is at least willing to do a few things about improving things so long as they also get richer. It's a shit choice but there is an objectively better choice and its disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

It would make a lot of sense
The lines fit the characters really well! -

Oh yeah, one is way better than the other! But the lack of actual representation is still creating an “us vs. them” mindset that is straight up ruining democracy.
