or how numerous White males dress in the Austin ‘burbs, especially in Cedar Park, Round Rock and Georgetown. The proportion grows the further North you go into Williamson County and beyond. I imagine it’s true with the other three directions (Bastrop, Dripping Springs, Buda, etc.) the more distance you place between Austin and its neighbors. It should then thin out as you get closer to Houston and parts of Dallas (which has a stronger liberal/left voting record than Austin oddly). San Antonio has at least two active military bases so don’t hold your breath for this type of asshole receding. They’re part of the “New Austin” problem via being God Barn members, gas guzzler drivers (if they can’t afford a Tesla bro!) and want charter schools to guarantee their offspring are even dumber and more gullible than they are.
I also find it funny how the Conservatives (my umbrella definition of that political faction or confederacy: MAGAts, Teabaggers, Country Club Republicans (WASPs), Evangelicals and Militaristic/Fascists) now have beards. Many are just the stubbly fuzzy kinds my GI Joe dolls had (the original 10 1/2″ versions with Kung-Fu Grip); not long ago, facial hair used to be their way to identify those they hated: Marxists, Socialists, Hippies, Commies, Beatniks and most Intellectual Types. Oh yeah, Muslims allegedly have them, it’s how they tell you they’re with al-Qeda! I suppose it’s the length. Nevermind how I can’t always tell a Proud Boy apart from a Hipster. My immediate guess is to either look at their arm tats for a “III,” the Punisher skull or the lambda character or I spot a man bun.
Lastly, I love the “Not scared, bro,” comment. Much in line with my right-wing cousin, they talk a big game, horde a dozen firearms and claim homosexuality is a choice. They’re even bloviating about how the Second Amendment says its their duty to have their penis surrogates should the need to overthrow a rightfully elected government, especially if its politically leanings are left of Barry Goldwater. Should you ever confront them about or actually know their military background, you’ll see many never joined or in my familial example, they were in the support elements and/or never experienced combat. Should you be curious, much like these people, my cousin was a mechanic in the Navy for 12 years and mustered out around 2000…three years before the Afghanistan and Iraq Fiascos created by the Bush-Cheney Lies. Oh, despite Noriega becoming inconvenient to Bush the Elder, he was relatively fresh out of basic training during the Panama Coverup and I’m pretty confident he did not participate in 1991’s Gulf Distraction aka, Operation: Get Bush Re-elected with a Diversion to Take the Public’s Attention Away from the Shitty Economy Caused by St. Reagan’s Policies. But if you meet him and/or argue with him, he, again like the costume above, talks a tough game to deceive others into he thinking he was in Team Seal 6. We know, once they’re arrested as per the failed January 6th Coup, they squeal louder than pigs if prison or jail is a consequence!
