I moved from California to Texas but only stayed 4 months. Texas isn't much cheaper, and everyone was politics-obsessed. (www.businessinsider.com)

  • 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.

I was trying to come up with an example of a reasonable Republican policy but I failed. Can you help me out with an example?
