(2,691 posts)In Texas, Republican leaders may dress up as cowboys and cuss. They are allowed to make bald faced lies. They can fake rage till it turns real about things that don't matter one bit to them. Wear a flag or beat a police man to death with it, fine, but don't let someone take a knee.
Democrats and people who care, have to apologize after they point out an obvious lie or say something that might be taken wrong by children.
Patriotism is love for a place and the inhabitants. AOC and Beto are both Texas patriots. AOC, not from Texas, but with more right to the title Patriot than any Republican who has not faced enemy fire in another country. Beto should keep cussing. He has righteous reasons for his anger and speech. The moment Republicans all turn on and reject Trump and all their other representatives for gross behavior and speech, I will want Beto to stop cussing. Till then, when I hear dog whistles, and in Texas, every tenth sentence from a white is expected to have a dog whistle, I will ignore any cussing.
