Quality of life is a major factor in where Americans choose to work, live and make major purchases including homes. These states are the nation's worst.
The “inclusivitiy”/“Woke mind virus!!!” metric is less than 14% of the overall weighting. And Texas in particular wasn’t even top 25 in ANY of the metrics. It was sub median in EVERYTHING. Even if you still believe in American Exceptionalism: it was still worse than half the country in EVERY metric.
And even if we pretend that it all is a root cause of those evil liberals sort of caring about trans rights: It is a cascading effect. Conservatives love the “broken windows” theory of law enforcement. But that applies all around. If your government are slobbering hatemongers then you are empowering the hatemongers among the populace. So that means more people who reach for the assault rifle in their pickup truck when they feel disrespected. More people screaming anti-science rhetoric at healthcare workers which results in more doctors and nurses and EMTs and the like getting the fuck out of dodge… which results in drastically reduced medical care for the people left. And so forth.
