My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.

But fuck, the second my contract says I'm allowed to move, I'm selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.

2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There's been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.
