Super gross generalization here but I've meet a few people from Texas (all immigrants) and they all repeat a version of the same vague comment when asked how is it there: "best place for raising children because of the values"
When pressed they all avoid giving a single concrete example
I've come to understand it's just some veiled racism. The whole "here, we get to hurt people I dislike"
Just like all the brainwashed idiots who say they'll never vote for a Democrat but they don't know why. Because conservative propaganda says they're evil.
There are only 2 things that com from Texas and that's steers and queers, these people don't look much like steers so that kinda narrows it down...
