Don't worry, Texas has importing tech workers since around COVID and it's only a matter of time until they import enough new voters to fundamentally change laws down there...
I worry that tech bros who live in Texas will be way more susceptible to the ancap mind virus than they are now
Tech workers are not the same thing as tech bros. Musk is a tech bro and would be incapable of working as a tech worker.
It’s not 1:1, but there’s a lot of overlap. I’m not as worried about the tech workers who aren’t tech bros, they’ll probably just get into barbecue.
If you worry you could start off by not calling them derogatory term like tech bros 🤷♂️
Might be a good start.
I don’t think that’s effective, but thank you for the heartfelt advice.
Not if they keep up with their gerrymandering, it’d take a shit load of tech bros to counteract gerrymandering.
Guess what, AWS is setting up their second HQ in Texas, so Texas is going to get a lot of people relocating from the west coast once that's all finished. Guess what, they generally like to vote and be involved in local politics.
That's just not true, people will make choices for material benefit even knowing the state of politics bc they believe its not as bad as it is and that they can ignore it. If you live in one of the big 4 texas cities, you mostly can.
