It’s called a “good ole boys club”.
Got it. Thanks. Alerting some TX relatives.
You can say that again. I don't live far from Duncanville, but the towns around here are full of them, be they liberal or conservative. I'm not sure if this is better or worse than California from whence I came. Half of my town seems to have escaped from somewhere in California, but hint at the possibility that some things here may need a little change and hear the screams!
On the bright side, at least I could understand the writer's sentences, which is more than I can say about my small town paper.
