Texas: Fascist ranch-land where freedom is illegal and everything is privately owned by billionaires.
California: Communist utopia with hippies and free love handed out on street corners.
Why so different? They were both Mexican at one time. So what made one go hard right and the other hard left? Was it the gays in San Fran. and artistes in LA or something else?
Those are gross oversimplifications that don’t accurately describe either state or their populations.
The difference is the power balance between urban / rural. Rural California, especially in the north, is not so different from Texas. Cities in Texas are not so different than California. I don’t think all rural / urban areas are necessarily like this depending on local culture (or Maine would be more like Texas) but living in both of those places that is what it seemed like.
Holy massive oversimplification, Batman…
Also:
Fascist
Communist
Outta all the words you could’ve chosen, you went with the two that people throw at heavy Conservative and Heavy Liberal places because it makes them sound worse than they actually are (and, i’m going to guess, because they don’t know what either a facist state or a communist state actually look and function like). Interesting.
