Thanks for your email Elaine.

My first thought was Rush Limbaugh's creation of a "conservative nation" of "dittoheads." https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1993-08-28-9308270768-story.html

In similar vein, here is how Texans' views of anthropogenic climate change have shifted from 2011 to a poll taken in late 2019.

2011: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/aug/12/rick-perry-climate-sceptics-president

2019: https://www.texastribune.org/2019/11/06/texans-say-climate-change-happening-highly-partisan-issue-uttt-poll/

Y'all change.... eventually.

But nearly all conservatives are as cantankerous as possible while getting used to The Good News that personal and planetary health improve when people and governments move away from fossil fuels (whose price - over time - can only go up) and toward solar energy whose price can only go down over time. 

I hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

HAPPY 4TH!!! 

If Texans are changing their opinions, it's only because of all the "foreigners" (Californians) who are moving to Texas! LOL

My, how I wish I had time to respond to this!!! :(

Dear Elaine,

I wish you had time too.

I'm curious. Would you favor the secession of Texas? 

I do. 

I favor the secession of all states that comprised the Confederacy.

Or, if those red states don't want to secede, I favor "blue state" secession. 

Or, at least "getting close enough to secession" so that everyone must REALLY think about the totally non-viable toxicity between red states and blue.
