Being from Texas and living there now, I can relate. If you added a John Wayne commemorative plate or two and a stuffed Bobcat (I have the pictures) you could sum up a large portion of my family.
Probably the same damn plate. They've got pictures of Ronald Reagan, signs that say "We
don't call 911" with drawings of shotguns, have purses with a hidden holster compartment, and
argue over which gun is the best for personal protection. They also, when they think they're among
the 'right' people, readily use racial epithets of every shape, form, and description.
They also, if you meet their specifications, are kind, generous people who will go far out of their way
to lend a hand in helping repair your house, bring you food as long as it takes when there's sickness
in your family, and in general behave like Christian Samaritans.
Ambiguous humans! (All of us, not just those Texans.)
