We just gotta keep pushing back, Ansel. The left has had a good run in this country, but the majority of Americans are now on to their plans to remake our great nation in the mold of their utopian delusions.
It will never be, but we will have to remain vigilant and willing to fight back, to keep it from being so.
I don’t know how sensitive you are to the media, it’s bias, and propagandist manipulation, for me it is something that I have been sensitive to and studied since my youth.
If you are tuned into it you may have noticed that Texas is starting to get the treatment that all these PC (non PC?) things started getting 40 and 45 years ago.
The casual, isolating, mildly degrading/insulting, negative associations, comments about Texas are cropping up throughout media and popular culture, and in news.
They are just sprinklings now, just starting to form drops here and there, but it is definitively happening, Texas is on the way to being portrayed as a pariah, they can’t totally do Texas like they did the South, but it is something that you are old enough to witness this time.
It is similar to Clarence Thomas, they can’t destroy Texas, but they can take some of the sheen off of it and make it harder to casually use it as a counterpoint to California and New York governance, without getting soiled with some of the baggage that the media is striving to attach to it.
They want to contaminate it for mention in polite company.
