I live in a BRIGHT RED AREA in Northern Texas.
Politics NEVER comes up, not even at the polls. Maybe in bars but we do not go there.
I have NEVER seen a democrat or liberal cussed at, yelled at or even addressed. Every now and then you will some someone excersizing their 2A rights with hip iron and no one says anything and if anyone ever spoke outagainst it they would merely be laughed at or, more likely, ignored.
The OP atticus is a bald-faced liar who WISHES all the terrible things he says would happen.
Instead he suffers low taxes, low gas prices and expanded freedom in ignominy.
