As you can tell by my username, I lived in West Texas. Not the cool part, the shitty panhandle part. Going to college really opened my eyes, being an environment that has support. I really appreciated the lack of hierarchy my small high school had; it was incredibly segregated between the rich white girls and their assholes boyfriends, and all the Hispanic kids. I lost 90 lbs in undergrad.
What got me out of being a lib was Hillary Clinton stans being snarky when talking anything regarding policy. I was a bit too young for 2008, but my sister was older and I remember her telling me how absolutely nasty they were. I saw it in 2016.
Trump was obvious a big role in making Twitter shit, but the Hillary Clinton stans snarkiness really turned me off of that platform altogether.
All hail West Texas
Gotta Lubbock or Leave it
