Texas as Third World Province
According to a USA Today report dated today, June 25, 2021, a train of vehicles referred to as a "Trump Train" attempted to harass and intimidate a Biden-Harris Bus and accompanying vehicle. That, in itself, is not a serious crime but more a tale of intellectually stunted Texas rednecks. However, the Trump cultists are said to have attempted to run the bus off the road. To what end? To haul the survivors out for physical punishment? To express their support for democracy and fair elections?
To many political moderates, actions such as this sometimes look like the decline of democracy and of American influence in the world.
My first reaction to the story was embarrassment--in my state and too many of my fellow Texans. These Trump cultists appear to have no shame. Let the embarrassment their action aroused in mature Texans be their shame.
