    When I went to vote (in San Antonio, TX) in the 2022 election, I was standing in line near someone wearing a rainbow mask. Some MAGA moron gets in line wearing a MAGA hat and a “Let’s Go Brandon” shirt. No one decides to say anything because if this idiot is crazy enough to wear this shit to vote, what else are they willing to do? At least they’re not actively threatening anyone, right?

    Then the dumbass waves down a volunteer and says that the rainbow-mask man needs to remove his mask because rainbows are political. The volunteer brings the other guy a mask and asks him to put the rainbow one in his pocket. Then turns to the Trumpicana Orange Juice Guzzler and says, “I wasn’t going to say anything, but you’re gonna need to take off your hat and change your shirt.” The dude threw such a fit about not having a spare shirt and how he can’t believe that he’ll have to go home and this is undemocratic, etc., etc.

    What many of us Texans are lacking in pride, we’re also lacking in intelligence.

      1. Rainbows are not political
      2. Even if they were, unless it’s directly related to something on the ballot its not electioneering. You can wear a I’m with her Clinton hat or whatever now

        You sound just like my boss who gave me a ride to the polls. I’ll tell you the same thing I told her. “Sure, but this is so beautiful. Just watch and appreciate this unbelievable creature in their natural habitat.”

      We make up for the lack of intelligence with an abundance of pride. It’s an inverse scale. The bigger the Gadsden Flag and the more Trump merch, the lower the intelligence.
