Im traveling to visit my parents next month for a few weeks, unfortunately home for them is Texas. It’s been three years and I’m not exactly thrilled to go back (only happy to see them & my sibling).

I’m stuck between having a list of things we need to bring back (ie: can’t buy abroad/cheaply), wanting to eat international food that can’t be found here, and really really really not wanting to support the government. I know it’s a drop in the bucket, but everything sounds so… expensive and destructive.

Oof. That’s concerning to hear, since it’s the sane people looking to leave.

In all fairness, there's a difference between insanity and being brainwashed. I think the people supporting Texas politicians simply lack the critical thinking to understand the issues at play (by design ... the education system was intentionally gutted starting decades ago).
