Yet More Hate and Bigotry in Texas

I live in Corpus Christi and won't put on an Obama bumper sticker on my car for fear that my car will get keyed. There are too many fanatical Obama-haters out there all angry and scared. Anyway, I love my car too much to let that happen. I know where Texas' 38 electoral votes are going, but I will vote anyway. I won't be intimidated because my vote is sacred.
 
The Right in Texas is living under a demographic time-bomb. The Era of Rick Perrys and Louie Gohmerts will come to an end in the next 20 years....and the Era of Julian Castros will begin.

Such a transition will push the Right towards vandalism like that, even violence.

What changed in Texas? The only change was from Democrat to Republican. The people are still the same old same old.

The old Dems have died off, except for some of us....(I'm 63). I sure as heck didn't switch parties to hang on to the Reagan coattails of the 80's.
We'll turn blue again, though, and I sure as hell hope I'm around to see it.

I completely understand. In 2008, I deliberately ordered a magnetic bumper sticker, so I could drive somewhere, get out and put it in the trunk while I was inside, then put it back on for the ride home.
I'm being stalked right NOW by a rightwingnut in my own neighborhood sending hateful, libelous letters to me and a neighbor I didn't even know until she brought the nasty thing to show me.
I'm so conflicted now about my yard sign.....since the letters, I am literally fearful of my personal safety, and so have not put it out. I feel like such a damned coward, though.

Exactly so, GG. I don't think it will take 20 years (15 at the max). The six largest and MOST ECONOMICALLY PRODUCTIVE cities in Texas went heavily for Obama in 2008 and will again this go around. About the violence when that occurs? We shall see....believe me, I personally know people who rant about stocking up on guns and ammo (gun/ammo mfrs. are likely rooting heavily for Pres O's re-election). The hate and ignorance is PALPABLE here. It makes me sick.
