Not having my loved ones' freedom and reproductive rights taken away was a huge plus for this native Texan fleeing Texas, for example.
A coworker still there talks about how the school board is being taken over by right-wing, book-banning, religious fundamentalists. He now homeschools his kids and has asked me about moving to my new home state.
In general, it's nice not being stomped on whenever the governor wants to score some cheap political points. It's weird when your government is acting like that friend that always starts fights (sometimes with you) when drunk and always seems to be drunk.
Granted, with the way things are going there, I'm also a climate refugee.
