It’s probably a lot closer than 20 miles that you hit normal people from Austin.

You’re right, actually. I have a friend who lives somewhere near Bee Cave (or whatever it’s called), and that’s pretty rock-ribbed conservative from what I remember of it. I recall driving up near there to meet her for lunch, and I drove past a bunch of trendy gastropubs and cafes and then ended up in hardcore steak ‘n’ burgers areas. My type of place, really.

If we talk about them we’ll say stuff like “Well, she’s pretty much useless, bless her heart” (and it will nearly always be a ‘she’)

“Bless her heart” – can’t get any more Southern than that. As opaque as a Japanese koan and every bit as loaded with meaning.

There was a twitter post going around a few months back that said it was mind boggling that these marxists were calling to defund the police, when the existence of a police force is the only thing preventing Americans from killing every single one of them.

Judging by the way that the MAGA Brigade is reacting in AZ right now, gathering outside polling stations and demanding that the votes be counted, I think we are getting very close to that boiling point now. If, God help us all, we do get President Harris and President-Emeritus Biden, then all bets are off, because if they do defund the police, it’s time to get tactical.

Most of us that are normal view these bluebean transplants like you would any other mentally impaired person. If we talk about them we’ll say stuff like “Well, she’s pretty much useless, bless her heart” (and it will nearly always be a ‘she’)

About the light switch trigger for the ultraviolence – I heard a quote from a black dude that said something along the lines that they don’t want to push these guys because when they snap, they’ll take your whole family out along with you.
It’s a small step from defending yourself to realizing that a mile buffer or so would be a good thing.

These thugs and antifa have no clue what will happen to them if law and order breaks and people clan up.
