i lived in austin for a bit more than a year.
many republicans perry’s age or older were democrats.
they flipped during comrades hillary and bill’s regime.
Most people in Texas were democrats back in the 70s and 80s. I learned when the peanut farmer [yes, I voted for him because I grew up on a farm] was the POTUS, and what he did to the military. It wasn't good for us.
