Texas is a red state because of Gerrymandering. This, too, shall be overcome.
Yeah I suppose I shouldn't form an opinion on Texas culture based on a small sample. Are they really a blue state by percentage?
As for the price of gasoline, some people do freak out. We Americans are very sensitive to the price of gasoline. People will deliberately drive miles out of their way to save $2 on a tank of gasoline, and then spend $4 on a coffee. The small savings makes them feel like they're not getting ripped off. It's a massive sentiment that will sooner or late cause EV sales to flash over. The satisfaction of driving past any and all gas stations is several magnitudes greater than saving a trifling dime on a $4 gallon of gas.
