Oh, I hear ya. I am in the same situation. This city is like a boat overloaded with dimwitted liberals and it is sinking under the weight.
I am surrounded by mind numbed fools sneering at me all the time when I purchase those hedonistic plastic bags to tote my groceries home in. They can still be purchased in Austin, though one must endure thunderous frowns.
I feel sick when I have to give one dime or even a penny to the tithing plate for the Church of Ecotheology. This “sin tax” is an insidious evil.
So is expecting me to bring my own cloth bags. I have had plenty of people, including some so called conservatives, chide me for griping about the bring your own bag rules saying that it is not much of a hardship to endure. That isn’t the point. These folks don’t realize that if you give in at all you are conceding the Leftists’ false premise and they have won. Emboldened by that victory they will move swiftly to their next freedom grab.
