      I remember when that was the normal not only Texas but everywhere. When I was kid it was normal to wave at passing cars, and your neighbors. Now everyone hates everyone else.

      And can’t let people do what they want for themselves or their homes. Hell it doesn’t even effect them.

        A lot of the people in my neighborhood are actually pretty friendly, in an idealized-small-town sort of way. But I live in one of those “scary” “inner-city” neighborhoods with The Blacks™ and The Gays™ and whatnot, so it’s a little different for me.

        Meanwhile, my Boomer parents, who live out in the suburbs, complain that their subdivision has gone completely to Hell. Funny, that.

      Do you? Or do you remember when they falsely claimed to mind their own goddamn business?

        It felt genuine to me. The vibe I used to get from Texas was Republican by convenience. Republicans deliver a lot of what Texans wanted, and the weird annoying social conservative stuff was along for the ride. I always felt like most Texans really didn’t give a fuck if you were white black blue or purple if you kept to yourself and didn’t bother them
