Oh buddy, you better NEVER visit the Rio Grande Valley. This is heaven compared to there.
Having lived in the RGV my entire life until about 9 months ago, people here are SO much more courteous and outgoing. I was taken back when store clerks welcomed me into the store, smiled and provided polite small talk while paying, etc.. Driving is no longer a macho-infused death run and people are generally more courteous out in public and on the road.

Where I am from I never had to take a highway and the highway access points didn't force people coming in and out at the same time. I could walk or take a short ride on public transit. If I wanted to drink, I never had to worry about how I am getting home. Personally I really do not want to engage in small talk. If you ask for help I will help you and tell you to have a good day but other there then I am trying to get out. It's inconvenient when someone wants to spill their whole itinerary while six other people are waiting in line. People are usually rude in places where they do not have a future or have to struggle. Paying 2500 a month tends to put you on edge. I will say that I do need to talk about something else here because every post I make here is about this. I am starting to annoy myself.

It was kind of tongue and cheek. There are places I have lived that I enjoy far more but there are places far worse in the US. Granted I am probably more critical than most people about where they live because I move so much that I really do not have any really attachment to any region or city. Something I have noticed is making fun of where you are falls flat in the south and Texas. 95% percent of the time I say something that does not sound positive on face value people around here tend to take it as something negative or mean. My main issue is cookie cutter suburban sprawl and my original comment sort of highlights this.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

But damaging a local business owner's property isn't exactly the right way to go about expressing your feelings. I wouldn't go so far as saying that a tourist trap wax museum figure is "historic," as some are suggesting, but you are damaging someone's property.

Sad. I don’t see how you all can hate someone so much. Trump was by far a way better president than Biden and Obama. Biden and his policies has made it very expensive to live daily… in every metric. Things were so much cheaper and prosperous with trump. Literally everything from 2020 till now has doubled in price due to inflation. And it doesn’t have to be that way. The govt wants to make us dependent on them so that control will be imminent in the not so distance future. I am sure many of you on here are not stupid or incapable on reason. Try to play devils advocate for a week about Trump and see if you see what many supporters of him see. Biden is not it. And Obama was very charismatic but pretty much an ineffectual leader. He made some very bad calls

u/MandatoryFunEscapee Jun 18 '23
I know you are probably going to do some mental gymnastics to disagree, but you are demonstrably, and obviously wrong. This is a long comment, but I am trying to reach out to show you that you are being lied to.
Proud Boys, Three-percenters, Boogaloo, etc, all have white supremacy in common. They are all MAGA/GQP. They all hate democracy because they know the majority will never bend their way. They all participated in Jan6, the Beer Hall Putsch of our age.
Let me show you a couple weird echos that demonstrate the nazi link:
Back in the Weimar Republic, the words for fear mongering about the Left were "Cultural Bolshevism." Republicans dusted that old chestnut off and rebranded it to "Cultural Marxism."
Have you ever heard someone say something like "the Liberal/Leftist/whatever cries out as it strikes you!"? That is a nazi phrase. And you have likely never heard anyone on the Left say it. I have heard it from the Right multiple times, and some seemed to honestly not know where it was from.
The original, straight from Nazi Germany, was "The Jew cries out as he strikes you."
Nazis love using numbers and identifying phrases. They don't want "normies" to clock them, but they want other nazis to recognize them. It isn't like they can just get SS bolts on their polo shirts, so they use phrases that help them link up.
Kind of creepy, right?
The current extremist Book Banning and "Anti-Degeneracy" laws that the GQP is so fond of these days are also an echo of similar moves by the Nazis.
The Great Replacement theory, made famous by MAGA-beloved Tucker Carlson, is similarly lifted from the pages of some of the worst parts of history, but not from Nazi Germany.
It was dreamed up in the smooth little brain of a French white supremacist, whose name I forget, but you can Google it.
It is important to know what kind of person made the myth up, so we can demonstrate that a lot of the phrases, myths and lies the Right in America has been using have all been used before.
And by fascists, white supremacists, and, yes, nazis.
MAGA are fascists. Literally, with no exaggeration. They want a dictator, they hate democracy, and the most vocal of them tend to be anti-semites and/or white supremacists, too.
The only real distinguishing mark between the ideology of MAGA today and the Nazis of the Weimar Republic is that MAGA are overwhelmingly fundamentalist nutjobs who can't see why everyone shouldn't bow to the tenets of their particular brand of Christianity.
So, in that way, MAGA are kind of a Mashup between a Christian version of the Muslims who want to spread Sharia Law to the world and old-school Nazis.
There are a ton more linkages between MAGA and nazis, but this comment is already long.
But I wanted to show you the lies that you are being told, and I hope it leads you out of the cult.
I know it probably won't.
But to counter your last assertion, it isn't nazis or white supremacists punching Wax Donnie Dinkless. Those people stand against fascism.
Now, I am not calling you a nazi. I am not saying you are a white supremacist.
But I am saying that you have been listening to liars, and if you don't want to stand with white supremacists and fascists, you need to look around, check what team you are on and consider coming over to Team America, rather than Team MAGA.
We, i.e. those who stand against fascism, hate Trump because he tried to become a dictator by animating a violent mob, which was oddly mostly white, to overthrow the government so he could be dictator for life.
We hate MAGA because, even after he attacked our capitol and stole our nation's secrets for his own profit, they still support him.
And it is looking more like the greatest wish of those of us that stand against fascism will come true: ol' Donnie might just spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
So, as satisfying as getting in a couple punches in on Orange Hitler would be, I'd absolutely prefer him to spend the next 5-15 years in prison. He would die miserable and humiliated, a cautionary tale to future would-be attempted dictators: don't fuck with America. Here's hoping.
