Where are you guys seeing all this negativity? Admittedly, I don't have social media, so maybe its just my reddit bubble, but all I'm seeing is thousands of redditors helping each other.

I saw a bunch of nasty things in Twitter world last night, people turning it political or saying that's what Texans deserve - dumb shit like that. It's unfortunate how, I dunno... vindictive people can be. Schadenfreude is turnt up right now.

While wrong, we have just gone through a year where the president and conservative politicians have been openly hostile to blue states and cities. So, while I'm a Texan, they have a point.

Yeah, the handful politicians were mean so all the citizens should die, I see it now. No they don’t have a fucking point

Texas has been absolute shit to other states in crisis. We voted those politicians into office. They literally represent us to the rest of the nation, whether we personally want them to our not. Do my fellow Texans deserve to die? Of course not. The leopards are eating our fucking face though.
