    Houston suburbs are light-years more socially liberal than military towns especially in southern coastal NC. And Marine Corps infantry is not that diverse. It's very white relative to other occupations and branches. Jacksonville NC and the surrounding areas in Onslow County is mostly white and highly conservative in all aspects from religion to race relations.

    I've lived in both. You haven't.

    No not really. Houston suburbs aren't as conservative as you claim. Almost half of the board comes from there. It's far more ethnically diverse with a strong Asian population also than poor military towns in Southern Coastal NC.

    Far better school districts also that don't do nearly as much confederate worshiping. Too much diversity there to pull that ****.

    Okay and I know the Houston suburbs. They are nowhere near as conservative and right wing as military towns especially a Marine military town surrounded by rural white America.

    Bro, half the board comes from the Houston suburbs.

    lol 23 out of 47 posts are from people on my ignore list. I'm going to guess this thread is a dumpster fire.

    Yes. Keep going overboard to highlight how much you are from Houston and not Russia.

    My understanding is that in the last 25 years suburban TX including the suburbs of Houston have gotten much more diverse and as such bluer politically. Places like Sugarland were once strongholds of the Klan but now have some of the largest South Asian and Nigerian populations in the US. Looking at the 2020 Electoral map Fort Bend County went blue.

    Yup. That's pretty much my entire childhood. FBISD was very diverse my time growing up in Sugar Land. Now if you drive more West down Alt 90 past New Territory, that's when it becomes far less diverse and far more conservative.

    I actually wouldn't be surprised if Damon actually isn't a massive Trumper but instead when they got pulled over were massively drunk, and thought maybe they could get a pass if they lucked into a Trumper cop. I'm sure there was also a moment where he dropped the "I'm Johnny F-ing Damon" card too.

    I see this more as a moment where we see people trying to use entitlement to avoid accountability, and the negative effects of policing in America being politicized.

    So Pg hijacked the hijack by O's.

    Is that a historical 1st on Clutchfans?
