And and there it was.

I mean, the Texas panhandle was the subject of the of the dissertation.

And it is consistently to all kinds of different measurements, the most conservative part of the United States.

And it was a part of the United States that's very much influenced by frontier mythology.

So that's what drew me was the stark geography of the political landscape there.

This is a place that in the 20-teens was voting Republican at like an 83% clip in almost every single county.

Yeah.

Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious that this was a place.

And I'd lived there.

I went to high school there.

I went to junior high school there.

I started college there.

So it was a part of the world that I knew fairly well.

And I knew the people.

I liked it.

It was a part of the world that I enjoyed being in.
