In reply to the discussion: Trump is a monster who is burning America to the ground* and needs to be stopped. [View all]peppertree
(23,186 posts)42. I had a similar experience
I lived in Tarrant County for a couple of years - and found that to be the case with approximately two out of three white voters (those whom I got to know well enough to bring up politics with).
They weren't just adoring of Bush (who was President at the time), they seemed to believe he would turn the country into some theocratic police state - and looked forward to it.
Little did they know a lecherous Yankee gangster (who despises Southerners) would go much further towards that goal that even Dubya.
Other than that, lots of good memories. And the sweetest, most caring vet I've ever met (she always called my Basset "handsome" ).
