    Leave Texas Challenge (impossible for Texans for some reason)

    Why is it that even after they spend like 20 minutes ranting about how Texas is the worst state, whenever you suggest that any Texan perhaps leave Texas for another state, they look at you like you just ate seven babies in two seconds?

      Man my parents moved TO Texas. Went there for college and never left. They’re liberals though so at least they’re not chuds

          Is Texas REALLY that bad? I'm from California and am frequently told I do not know how great America is because "I'm from the worst state in the union which taxed itself into irrelevance"

            Beautiful skies, great Mexican food. The worst thing is the people

            I'm Canadian. Of the handful states I've been to, I think California and Colorado are the most tolerable ones I've been to, and the worst ones I've been to are Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.

        I mean, yeah, it is an absolute hell of a thing, that's true. I just think it's funny that when someone has a conversation with you that ends in them saying "There is absolutely nothing here for me and I want to go postal rather than continuing on like this" and the concept of moving is still off the table. I have never seen any group of people from anywhere more resistant to the concept of moving, even in the face of their own impending death than Texans.

        How dare you suggest they simply give up Tacos and Whataburger?

      I had a cousin that left Texas for Seattle.

      As much as he loved it, he kinda needed to head back because houses there are quite pricey. As much as it pains me to say something positive about liberals, it's hilarious how stuck-up fash are when liberals are probably better capitalists than they are. California's major problem is that it is TOO desirable, and everyone wants to live there. So, in a way "Not Texas" is a huge selling point, regardless of what Twitter or iFunny tries to tell you.
