Life-long Texan here, and I couldn&#x27;t disagree more. I grew up in the rural pandhandle area and lived in Amarillo, Austin and Houston. Now, I&#x27;m living on the road in an RV, driving across the nation, and I&#x27;ve found many places more beautiful, friendly and accepting than Texas ever was. Texan exceptionalism is a bizarre and subjective phenomenon that I&#x27;ll never understand.
