Stolen Trump flag in a red neighborhood. Signs of changing times in Texas?

We have lots of dump flags and yard signs in our neighbors yards, so it is not something you would expect to happen here, exactly the opposite of what you would expect to be sure.

So, I got an email on our neighborhood email list from one of our neighbors that his Dump flag was stolen. Which seems odd in our neighborhood since it is a pretty red area. He attached 2 pictures, one of his torn down flag pole sans flag and another of his shotgun at the ready for the next time someone comes for his flag.

I think it is quite funny that he sent a picture of his gun as a warning to all the neighbors...seems kind of silly to me. We all know that this neighborhood is locked and loaded. I find it even more strange that he did not have a camera set up since we have had some burglaries and other activities that have alerted the whole neighborhood that there were some bad actors present and we should all be at least a little more prepared (we personally have a security system, lights, cameras, etc...).

Well, he noted that it was probably kids pulling a prank and I responded with "seems like a shotgun is a little overkill for kids pulling a prank...but hey, your mileage may vary, just get a camera and notify the parents if it happens again".

I wish the whole country would just calm down and I can't wait until Joe and Kamala take office and start healing this nation. We need to get back our sanity and push these hotheads back down where they belong.

Anyways, it looks really good here in Texas, we may be looking at a huge Blue Wave, I've heard from my son in Austin that the students are quite active and voting as if their lives depended on it...because it does. He told me Beto really did a great job getting young people engaged.

Blue Wave.

He has huge Biden signs and a flag. "People" have been stealing them, so, he rigged up an electric device.

His family were sitting outside in their backyard (broad daylight mind you) and a truck stopped and proceed to steal their sign. The daughter started yelling at them "Hey that's are sign you're stealing" then dad runs after them cursing. Daughter "Dad I've never heard you curse before"

He amped up the electricity.

Almost 9 million people have already voted in Texas, if we hit 10 million before election they say it bodes really well for Biden and he just may take the state.

This could be a huge victory for Texas. The swing back to blue has been a long time coming, but it will come.
