Solidarity w/Texas.
Texas and NY are 2 of maybe 4 states people outside of the US think of when they think of America (along with California and Florida). Our leaders are trash and they wildly mishandled the pandemic. We're politically diverse but stereotyped by the parties and pundits as being either culturally conservative or liberal. And the weather is getting progressively weirder and worse for both of us.
Srs NY and Texas should be friends.
