I've been living 90mi from the Texas Border for 30 years ...been all over it.  Once you spend a lot of time in SC you'll know they are as different as night and day

well I voted by buying a house in SC..closing in 2 weeks. Aint no worried about speaking Spanish there or it being a dem state ( and yea that mattered to me ) plus there is a PSA store 20 minutes from my house

SC is basically Texas East.

Born, raised, and still live in SC. Both of my brothers are now Texans, and I can see myself moving if the right opportunity arises. But overall, the similarities are remarkable.

Overall SC gun laws tend to be slightly better. I like SC bbq but I can easily see how people don’t. Love Texas brisket though. We homeschool, but the normal schools here are terrible. Property taxes are much lower here, but no income tax there. Both have some cool history, some interesting areas, and some really sucky areas.

The biggest negative to Texas, it looks like it’s a matter of time until the big cities turn it blue. That’s not on the radar here yet.

Fucking Gino’s Pizza, Pepperoni rolls, Tudors, Big Loafer..

The fishing is better as well. The hunting is also better. The blue dog democrats however are an issue. And so are the unions. I’d rather it be purple than red or blue.

 Couple years ago, our work group met with Sony's Higher Education division. At the time it was headed up by an older guy from NJ. Thick NJ accent.  I'm sure he was just trying to be nice, but he was talking about how much he loved SC and when he retires he's seriously considering moving here.  
I just blurted out a deadpan "We're full"  
Whole damned room fell apart laughing.

I don’t speak Spanish, so South Carolina.

I don't speak imbred, so Texas.

Neither. Too hot, muggy, and full of third world voters. Once my folks pass, I'll probably never venture down that way again.

SC. But I'm biased, having lived there for a couple years, and never having been to TX.
