Matthew McConaughey And Family Move From Malibu To Texas Because “It Embodies (Their) Belief System…”

I guess I can relate to this, although I’m not a gajillionaire celebrity. I can understand the whole “belief system, wanting-to-get-to-Texas-because-of-the-way-of-life” thing. Texas IS a culture, y’all. It’s like a whole other country, really. I just wish the liberal Californians would stop invading it. I’m not saying Matt is one of those Californians who’s doing that. I’m just saying that I’m sick of seeing so many California license plates on I-35, fleeing from the craptacularity dumpster fire that is Cali, and then they get here, only to stick Beto stickers on their Subarus, trying to make my beloved Texas into what they fled.

That’s called sh*tting where you eat, folks.

According to this, Matthew’s wife, Camila had this to say about their relocation to Texas:

“It’s been great,” the 40-year-old shared. “It really embodies our belief system, especially the ones I grew up with, like going to church every Sunday, saying ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no, sir.’ I grew up saying those things coming from a family of farmers. For me, being from Brazil and then coming to Texas, I discovered a lot of similarities in terms of what families practice here, especially going to church on Sundays, and being very into the outdoors. It’s been a great transition.”

I love this sentiment. I understand it. I, too, love the yes ma’ams and the no sirs I hear on a regular basis from the long-time locals here. I grew up in Georgia and was raised that way – I want my youngest daughter to be raised the same. However, one can assume that when you live in a seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion with a guest house in Austin, there may be some differing nuances than when you live in a tiny town in the sticks like I do. Austin, in my humble opinion, is like the light-beer version of Texas. It’s where most of the California-transplant liberals choose to relocate, where the Saks Fifth Avenue stands, and where the real ranches aren’t, frankly.

Even Matt seems to have a teeny bit of discomfort about ALL the change Austin has seen over the years, wanting to preserve those “village values:”

Anywho, if Matt and his family are going to help Texas stay Texas, then golf claps all around. Texas is the best state in the country, so I can see why they wanted to move here. After all, you can take the boy out of Texas, but you definitely can’t take the Texas out of the boy.
