2. I know this is not a "Get along" message but it is the truth...

Everyone one I know here in rural Central Texas really doesn't care. They are all about white supremacy, although they don't call it that. Most play like they are "big Christians" and have nothing against people of color as long as they act like they want them to. It is a totally phony representation based on the way they act, the way they vote, and the way they live. They absolutely despise Democrats or Libtards and they call us and would never ever vote for one. Their news comes 100% from Fox, OAN, Newsmax, or some preacher is a "Cowboy" church that tells them that liberals, gays, transgender, are influencing their children to be "of the devil". Austin (the closest metro) is viewed as a bunch of weirdos and they want nothing to do with anything that influences their world view. They view Trump as someone that is a fighter, gets things done, is fighting for their values, and are proud to support him.

These same people project that we should all get along, love Jesus, and unite in making America what it was before the "fruitcakes" - although they cannot tell you when that was. It is insane and depressing and the reality of my world.
