I think Austinites broadly speaking love the cultural aspects of Texan-ness and dislike the political aspects of Texan-ness (and alternately love Austin's role as the haven of lefties and weirdos). Strong disagree that that equates to Austinites not liking Texas or Texans.

I tip $1.50 on like... $7.15 at my taqueria because I assume they don't make much money and they're nice and it's always the same 3 ladies and I go there all the time and their tacos are great.

An absurd waste of everyone's time and money to accommodate the smallest fraction of a percentage of the mentally ill population. SJW eff off.

That, and plenty of hispanics who are not even remotely immigrants. Poor hispanics, blue collar hispanics, middle class hispanics, upper middle class hispanics, rich hispanics. Oil money hispanics, ranching hispanics. Dudes named Juan who don't speak a lick of spanish but know the fuck out of SQL. Dudes named Juan who wash dishes. Etc etc. Diverse in terms of country of origin (where applicable) and food/custom/etc but also in how they fit in and relate across all of the other socio demographic categories in a state which has been red for decades.

Not sure about most, but it's certainly not simple math. It's a diverse category, maybe more so in Texas than in some other places.

Interesting statistic...about 30 people move out of Austin each day. Granted many of them are staying in Central Texas, but that's a decent chunk leaving every day. Of course, that means a net increase of about 100/day, but that part doesn't get covered very much. Austin I.S.D. is hemorrhaging students.
The "I would only live in Austin if it were the old Austin from 30-40 years ago" has completely jumped the shark. When somebody wants to wax nostalgic, I'm the first to pull up a seat and chat having been here 25 years myself. But if they make that declarative statement like they're being remotely original, I just pass 'em by. Nothing new here except some cranky asshole bitching about other people deciding to have families here. It's not new, it's not poignant, it ain't even interesting. If you're green, you're growing. If you're ripe, you're rotting. Much of this country is dying, we're lucky enough to live in a place that's booming.
It is curious how some hardcore anti-immigrant Texans think a Mexican coming here to take a landscaping job or handyman service calls is somehow taking a white man's job. But then a computer programmer from San Jose or an engineer from Newark or a finance guy from Chicago (whom are all either White or Asian in this scenario), those guys are literally coming here to literally take a job away from a Texan and somehow we just kind of accept that, make some anti-California joke, and move on. One of them is coming here to just compliment the economy, the other is coming to Texas to literally snatch away a job from a white native Texan and you can't see the difference. That's comical and that explains how our elections turn out I suppose /noCR
Can't have the jobs at all without people moving here from out of state to take some of them. It's a good thing.

I would never vote for any person who was a part of the Trump administration for any period of time.

I have minus zero desire to see either one of those jokers.
Neither do I, and I’m not going. Did sign up for tickets though.-

It's women who are going to fuck Republicans.
That’s what they keep telling themselves but I just don’t know if it is going to happen for them.
