Moreover, before you begin verbally attacking me, you should realize that I'm a really valuable commodity -- a very liberal thinker/voter in an area that's conservative overall. People like myself have the ability to make a real difference in the long run over a period of decades.0

I wanna get between Five Below and Hugh and try to make some peace here but I might inadvertently catch blows from both side and my face is already swollen on both sides enough as it is after a visit to the skin doctor today... so I guess not, lol.Peace brothers and sisters!"It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

I imagine TX will shift just like other states as Boomers start dying and GenZ starts getting more involved.

JimFletcherPearlJam said:Halifax2TheMax, I understand and concur with most of your criticisms of Texas. However, you should realize that there are essentially two versions of Texas -- urban versus rural. As things currently stand, the old, rural, conservative politicians have a hold on the state overall. However, that doesn't mean people like myself agree with or vote for them. I'm not going to surrender my really sweet homestead in an affordable part of the state just to align myself with more like-minded individuals elsewhere. Heck, you should be happy that people like myself aren't packing up and leaving based on a fair percentage of morons living here. Whether you realize it or not, you have a lot of allies down here in Texas, and generalizing to a group of 30 million people is wrong. Long live Pearl Jam!I LOVE MUSIC.

And in any case, the bluest and reddest states probably have (and I'm making these numbers up but I think they illustrate a point) something like 30% that usually vote the opposite way and another 20 percent that could go either way. States (particularly "red" states and "blue" states) over-simplify and pigeon-hole areas within the states, whether it's people in Austin, TX or rural southern IL.
That said, Texas's overall culture is different (and worse, in my opinion) than Minnesota's, despite the overall people being only slightly different. The extra (again, fake numbers) 15% of hard-core conservatives (along with some other shenanigans) in Texas really shifts the balance of power and is leading to unfortunate outcomes.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

How many guns from Tejas, Flo Rida, Nevervada and Indianer, to name a few lax gun control red states, make their way to places with more stringent gun control regulations like NY, MA, RI, IL, CA? We know things, we have fact based evidence and yet, it doesn't change.

I actually live in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas about 15 miles from the Mexican border. This is a pretty damn liberal part of Texas, which makes it much easier for a guy like me.0

Yup, nothing to worry about here, especially your risk assessment. Just normal, everyday “responsible” gun owner flexin’ their 2A rights. What could possibly go wrong? Great country, ‘Murica. Gift article.

I don’t know how anyone walks around the city of Shitcago w/o carrying a gun. This is Such a sad story, but just another day in urban American. Bad guys will always have guns no matter what sort of government regulation is in placed , Shitcago has some of the strongest. Very glad to see the police apprehended these shitbirds quickly, just wish this young beautiful officer had the time to take out a few of them in this blatant ambush….

The QtRUmplicans hate everyone and anyone not an old white guy who claims to be a "christian".
She/he/they have literally one answer....more guns for the white people.
And just to be clear the Fentanyl crisis was created by Hunter Biden in a Wet Lab in Wuhan that was funded by Dr. Fauci and then brought over the southern border by brown people looking to take American jobs.0 -
