This was my impression visiting Texas a few months ago (went for the eclipse and visited Houston, Austin, and Dallas).

Especially in Houston, it seemed that the propaganda was everywhere. Never mind being a city that could very much use some light-rail and instead is just a massive web of super wide highways (that still get congested). Seeing a Billboard announcing the Epoch Times as "the number 1 most trusted news", a half a mile before a Joel Osteen megachurch, really made me realize how much these ideas spreading so much are a product of their environment.
