New guy here

[loves_da_dems]

I got an email to introduce myself. Old white guy, who never cared much about politics till the election was stolen from Kerry. But it was when I found the Rachel show, that I realized all the damage the Repukes were doing to the country. Full out assault on a women's right to choose, voter suppression, etc, etc.

Nice to be among friends, I live in west Texas not El Paso. MAGA country out here. Hard to breathe sometime, so much racism and hate.

Hard to breathe at times? Sure is.

6. Welcome to DU

I'm from north Texas. I know the feeling of being surrounded by hate and racism. Don't let them get you down. You are among friends here.

7. Welcome from another Texan!

I know the feeling, I live about 45mi from Austin and am surrounded by Trump lovers. However, the good vibes from Austin keep me sane. It has been very frustrating for me to see my native Texas turn into a pile of GOP shit - especially State Government. Since '94 things have gone steadily downhill but I feel change in the air!! Hang in there, Brother!

8. Welcome, loves_da_dems!

I'm a young(ish) black lady who's originally from Louisiana, so I kinda know how you feel. Everytime I visit my forever home, it's like I'm on another planet. My neighbors are nice....now. So, welcome to DU and happy posting!

17. Welcome! Don't forget to go to your "My Profile" page

You can choose your own avatar, and it will be the picture (or artwork) that shows up with your posts. Most of us like to do that eventually. Also you can insert some text or artwork on your signature line, on the bottom of the "My Profile" page.

I think you'll be able to see instructions on how to do that. If you can't find the instructions, post a question on here and somebody will give you an answer really quick. The Community Help tab gives you some basic info also.

18. Welcome to DU

West Texas... Far from El Paso or near? Not that it matters, I just got a picture in my head of driving through Odessa/Monanhans/Pecos area.

19. Well, now you've gone and fucking done it, haven't ya?

Sheesh.

Forever you're tainted, sonny Jim.

Best of luck, mind the lampost and watch out for the monkeys, they bite.

20. When it gets really crazy out there

the Lounge is a good place to come down.
I try to make a visit to the Lounge my last part of every day.

I am an old white guy in rural Iowa - but it is not all MAGA out here anymore.
When Trump cut the farmers sales of corn and beans they aren't quite as MAGA as they were.

And I got to meet Elizabeth Warren today. It was a good day.
