Quit reading the political news and commentary, unless you’re prepared to become an activist
(which is not a bad thing). Yes! You could end up getting your own page on the Southern Poverty Law Center Website!
Pansey Graham has been elected the same number of times as Texas elected John Cornyn. Don't get me started on Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Being a SC resident has many perks. Among them:
I don't have to have a ludicrously big honking inspection sticker on my car to help the police harass me. In fact, I'm 'allowed' to determine the condition of my car MYSELF and repair it accordingly. Novel idea, that.
I don't have to deal with state police thugs conducting checkpoints for the sole purpose of hassling ordinary citizens for minor infractions.
You may have no income tax, but the property taxes on my 3000+sq ft house in a fantastic area are ~$1100/yr. Good luck finding that in Texas.
The more I looked at Texas, the more it looked to me like the New York that I was trying to get the hell away from. I can't quite figure out why, since all the NYers seemed to move to North Carolina, which also didn't make the cut because there are too many damn New Yorkers there.
Keep them U-hauls headed somewhere else. Besides Texas is always too hot, too dry, too wet or too cold. Don’t mess with Texas.
Betcha he’s here now and like many are not hip to all the kalifornia and blue staters rushing in.
It helps quite a bit. In that case, I would suggest you consider either Texas or Arizona. Under Gov. Rick Perry, Texas has added jobs and enticed new industries to move here because Texas still has the under current of it's former status as an independent nation for a decade before seeking to join the Union.
And, while Texas is overloaded with illegals, should a civil war break out, most Texans agree that sending the illegals home will be a primary concern. I don't always agree with what Rick Perry does but, I have to give him credit. During the Obama "recession", Perry has managed to not only attract jobs to the state, he has managed to attract new industries that are keeping Texans working, for the most part. IMO, in the event of a civil war, it is reasonably acceptable to believe that the average Texan will be minimally affected. Texas has the ability to be self-sustaining should we find ourselves cutoff from the rest of America.
While I don't know as much about Arizona, I do know that they also have a strong sense of individual liberty and freedom. The battles between Gov. Jan Brewer, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Obama administration are getting bigger and more tense. Arizona also has lots of wide open spaces and they allow open carry of firearms if you are so inclined.
Whatever you decide, good luck and God bless.
“Texas sucks. Its not only the place its the people and culture that are disingenuous and inauthentic masked as southern hospitality. You will not get past level 2 of deep relationships.”
Indeed. You would not fit in here; we don’t associate with your kind. You would be much happier elsewhere.
To paraphrase Crockett, “You may go to Hell, and I will go to Texas.”
Texas - hands down, Texas.

if you don’t see it, it can’t hurt you!
Another vote here for Upstate SC.
Left the liberal cesspool of South Florida and never looked back. It’s a wonderful place and the liberals are trying to gain a foothold here in Greenville so I openly welcome any and all conservatives to help us keep the numbers on OUR side!
Now if a liberal idiot asks - I tell them how horrible it is here so they just stay out!!! :-)
Brother!
And then they limit them to one child per household, right?
Guess the only way to get a second child is to kill off the first one.
What a weird place.
The punchline is "Oklahoma sucks" as answer to that age old question of "why doesn't Texas fall into the Gulf of Mexico"...

you may end up in some place like Tennessee.
But you associate with Wendy Davis...? And apparently think well enough of illegal immigrants that you've dubbed them worthy of in-state tuition.

good luck to you ....
if we could all settle in 3 or 4 states, it would be good...
quit the normalcy bias....

CAP is not a commune, lol. It’s similar in concept to the Peace Corps, only working with the poorest of the poor
Good response. Actually I don’t care much for Texas either. That’s why I moved to Asia. However my personal dislike of Linda Graham motivated me to raise a defense of my native state. You are accurate, Texas is a police state. Some 17-year-old kid made a foolish joke about shooting on a video game and Texas state troopers locked him up in a slammer without parole. Property taxes are very high in Texas. With the exception of Ted Cruz, moste-elected GOPers in Texas are Linda Graham clones.
Hasn’t rained a whole bunch all at once for a really long time.
How could you move from Texas to a Communist County and dining in Muslim restaurants? Sounds really weird unless it was job related that would be one of the last places I would ever move to.
I thought the same as you when I was a kid. After Hildabeast serves 8 years in the White House, you can ask me that same question again. I await to answer your question in 2024.
