The #TexanIdeology:
“Because conservative Christianity is so tightly woven into the state’s political culture, Musk and his fellow #California exiles find themselves confronting a new #ideologicalfusion, a blend of neoliberal economic policies and Christian-nationalist cultural ambition, rooted in the state’s long history of resource extraction and at ease with #racism and #misogyny.

That fusion has lately found a home in the White House too, and it should make us wonder: Whatever happened to the Californian dream of #benevolentinterconnection at scale? What kinds of dreams are replacing it? And what does #Texas have to do with the shift?”
