From the article: "Unsurprisingly, this skyrocketed searches for the best VPNs. According to a SlashGear report sent to Mashable, searches for "Texas VPN" jumped by 1,750 percent in the past day. It also spotted a 1,600 percent increase for the phrase "How to access Pornhub.""

Isn't Texas getting more and more purple? I think Biden only Lots by 5 percentage points. Lots of tech people, California emigrants, and "east coast" educated types moved to the cities there (like Austin).

Granted Texas is huge so the cities play less of a role in the overall state picture.

It might not be a swing state yet, by I don't know that it's as entrenched red as it used to be.

I honestly think that a lot of the bullshit about abortion is an attempt to force those blue voters out of their state because they are scared they are losing their grip.

Yes, but actually no. In the federal election, it is trending that way.

Our state government has gotten both more corrupt and HARD right, mostly because the only people who care enough to vote in those elections are the crazies.
