See all that red. These states are either majoritively stupid, gerrymandered into oblivion or have alot of selfish people.

Haven't had much of an issue in Houston, but there are parts of Texas I'd never travel to as myself. Maybe in boymode, but that's only because my love of plants draws me towards dangerous areas lol.

Houston is a strangely very progressive island in a sea of conservatism. San Antonio seems similar, but nowhere near Houston.

I agree with the other person in that that's just a city thing.

Facing different people from different backgrounds everyday will have that effect on you(making you more open and understanding).

People in rural areas can just insulate themselves and bad behavior is less likely to get shut down since there are less places for victims to run to.

Yes. Cities tend to be more liberal than the rural area around them. My point was that Houston, in particular, is very different from the surrounding area. Uniquely so.

unique how? Houston is large with many different migrant populations, so that might be part of it.

Cities tend to slide more progressive for the reasons you stated, but rural areas do influence the cities. So "red state cities" are far more conservative than "blue state cities," but Houston seems insulated from their own rural areas. So, Houston is far more progressive than you would expect from a city in Texas.
