• Kellee Speakman, a conservative elementary school teacher, moved from California to Texas in 2022 but returned after four and a half months due to Texas’s political obsession and unexpected living costs.
  • Speakman found Texas to be not much cheaper than California, with high property taxes, expensive services, and lower wages, which contributed to her dissatisfaction.
  • She returned to California, appreciating its lifestyle, public lands, and better teacher benefits, realizing that her idea of freedom involved peace and everyday adventures rather than political rhetoric.

    No, again, both sides are not the same because that, ‘regardless of reality.’ is not the same for both. Democrats aren’t aborting live babies. That is made up. Trump separated children from their families at the border and killed them. That is a fact.

    The reason both sides are not the same is easy just follow the money. Who owns what and who do they support, both here and abroad?

      At no point did I say that both political parties are the same. I only explained why nobody is willing to switch sides. We’re discussing two different topics.
