Good ol’ boys will be good ol’ boys.
They didn’t respond because they’re fine with intimidation and violence against Democrats.
Except that we’re not talking rural Texas here. San Marcos is a college town and almost a suburb of Austin thanks to urban sprawl.
Oh, trust me; I know.
I live in Texas, and specifically in Austin for a while.
I don’t think the cops hide their contempt for Democrats, especially during the 2020 police riots. They were happy to do the bashing themselves, so they certainly weren’t going to stop some good ol’ boys from making it known that liberals aren’t welcome in their State/city.
Just part of the culture.
Yep. The blueberry in tomato soup analogy is accurate.
Since when are urban-area cops any different? Looking at Portland and Seattle cops- supposedly blue-country ‘liberal city’ and ‘liberal-run’, the venn diagram of blue-city cops to right-wing militias has a shockingly high amount of overlap. It’s as if both the police and right-wing militias recruit from the same pool
Part of the problem here in Seattle is that we don’t require our cops to live within the city. Almost all of them commute in from other areas and hate Seattle/city people.
Overlap? It’s a perfect circle
Godamnit. I want to disagree so bad, but I can’t.

Texas
Is this a third world country?
They’d come here to answer that question but the electricity is out again.
As someone living in Austin: Yes. Yes it is. And a lot of us are fucking pissed about it.

As a Texan, don’t insult 3rd world countries like that.
