Texas isn't really flyover country, at least in my book. Texas and California love to hate each other but they are culturally similar in a lot of ways (large states with geographic/cultural diversity where most of the residents have a ton of pride and feel like they live in the best state in the nation). And then of course there is Austin which is arguably the "coolest" city in America right now and has Californians moving there by the truckload...
True flyover country to me is places that nobody really cares about, like Kansas (I'm being flippant, but really, there are some states you can almost forget about if you don't have a connection to them...).
- jschwartzi 11y agoIt's fitting that they're so similar, since both states seceded from Mexico and then formed republics.
- gnaritas 11y agoFlyover country is everything between the east and west coast IMHO. Texas is largely a place neither liberal cost cares anything about, just like Kansas and all the other crazy red states found in fly over country which is little more than a euphemism liberals have for conservative states.
