With regard to mainstream news, conservatives have by and large tuned out, even for the local news. As for my experience with masking, generally speaking, the more conservative the area, the fewer masks are worn. Fewer maskers in Plano than in Central Dallas. Fewer maskers, almost none, in Gainesville than in Plano. Mask requested or required signs are generally ignored. A 24 Hour Fitness gym in north Irving has a mask required sign, but compliance is under 20%.

There are signs in Texas stores

“If you are wearing a mask, you will be asked to LEAVE”

How about if you are wearing a mask AND a “Let’s Go Brandon” tee shirt?

These two liberal publications want mob rule

It’s The Hill, so, it’s guaranteed gaslighting. What was the demographic breakdown of those polled? For example.

Agree with your points. It’s just a strange dichotomy to see poll after poll favoring restrictions, yet virtually no one around my area seems to be living that way.

Another poll to shape opinion, not measure it.

BS. I live in East Texas which is still Texas, but luckily a 5-hour drive from Austin. Less than 10% wear a mask here and our school is not requiring masks for anyone.

It’s a full-scale propaganda push to get this chemical into people. We are ruled by a drug cartel.

Texas Tribune is a leftist Democrat thug rag.

Apparently, the Texans that went to game 6 of the World Series were not asked the mask question. Haven’t watched any football but I suspect the Cowboys (sexist name that needs changed) and the Houston Texan fans don’t participate much in the mask exercise either.

One thing we have no short supply of in Texas is bovine excrement.

Outside of leftist crapholes like Dallas, Houston, and Austin, maybe 10% of the population is wearing a mask.

I would say it was probably 1200 registered voters who are also Texas Tribune subscribers, but I doubt they have that many subscribers.

It might be believable if they stuck to VAX question. No way do that many Texans want mask requirements ... Even in Austin.

A UT/Soros Texas Tribune Poll

Back when all of this pandemic stuff started to happen, I made a rare post on FB stating I choose not to participate in the pandemic. Much like Rush use to tell us not to participate in a recession.

Here is my experience with the pandemic:

- I may or may not have contracted covid at some point, probably very early on if I did.

- I have never taken a covid test

- I own a small business and deemed my business essential, so we still worked.

- None of my employees had covid

- My daughter contracted covid....after she took the vaccine

- I know of no one personally who has died of covid or has been hospitalized with covid. Just a handful of 3rd-degree- of-separation acquaintances.

- I know many people who have contracted covid, all of them either with no symptoms or a flu-like experience and recovery.

- I know many people that have had reaction issues to the vaccine, including my wife who had to take it for her job and now has tingling sensations in her toes.

In MY World, none of the urgency and freaking out makes any sense.

My first thought too. Polling limited to the faculty lounge at UT.

They probably polled in nursing homes in Austin, where the residents are fed a strict diet of CNN.

My guess it they are lying about the numbers.

After last Friday the officials in Houston/Harris County have credibility that can be measured in negative integers on any issue.

Oh, I dunno, this is after all a spittlefest from Austin. A more filthy fen of liberalism you will not find.
