I just don't see how they can believe God is using David Dennison. If you look at the culture as a river that we all are drinking from Trump is polluting it with his shenanigans, bullying, aberrant behavior, and criminalities.

That hates gays, abortions, Hispanics, pretty much any person of color actually...Muslims.

Okay just to put it as simple as possible. Their God hates anybody that isn't like them. It's going to be funny when they die and realize that God isn't the way they interpreted him.

or gathering, most of the women have blonde hair and often wear red. It is like a uniform. It is so predictable. Individuality in the republican party is practically nonexistent.

with too much makeup and big fake smiles.

When Trump spoke a rallies, I usually looked at the people behind him, trying to figure out who the hell they were. I saw a lot of well dressed blonde women, really hard to tell one from another. So creepy.

When he was with my mom, he was a California blue blood. Then he became a hardcore racist, cheating conservative. I'm sure I have a half sibling somewhere in the world when he was overseas during his deployment in the 80's.

My ex is a very intelligent, well read man, so I was shocked when I found out he was watching Fox News. Perhaps it was because he was at a vulnerable time in his life and Fox filled some need.

You have my sympathy. I lived in Texas for about a year a long time ago, a rather bleak experience for sure. I have noticed a lot of businesses moving to Texas though and bringing a lot of new blood to the state, so there is hope.

Amarillo is in the Panhandle area. Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio are all around 300 to 600 miles from me. I don't plan on dating anybody anyway

Kind of just passing through I believe and quite unimpressed. We did end up living in a small town east of Houston. Finding someone to actually talk with was quite a challenge, but it wasn't as bleak as Amarillo. Texas is such a big and diverse state though. Some places were more amiable than others.

Everything fun to do in this state is all down south. Amarillo is more of a stopping town because it's dead smack on Interstate 40. The only real thing to do here is just eat and sleep.

It seemed to resemble Oklahoma more than Texas. I think the only reason people ended up in Oklahoma is some pioneers' wagons broke down or the horse died. "Well, this place is as good as any. Might as well set roots here."

My grandmothers family was originally heading to California. But her brothers go sick along the way and stopped in Amarillo. Roots settled here.

Thought if they didn't stop, I wouldn't have been born. But I wonder how life in California would have been for them.

You can see how it can happen. I can't imagine the Panhandle being a destination spot, more like an accidental relocation.
