He has a point.  The two groups actually look a lot alike.

Biker-Brawl Suspects Only Slightly Outnumber Republican Candidates

A lot of old, dumb white fucks.

I suddenly got the urge to shave my beard.

That one guy in the top row looks like fucking jesus.

Nah. This is the MFer that looks like Jesus.

Waco should really be renamed to Wacko.

Attracting loony toons since the 70ies.

I pronounce it that way.  And that is how it should be pronounced, because of all the wackos there.  On the other hand, when I say "Wacko Texas," people might be thinking I mean the whole state, which is understandable.

The OP has me wondering, though, who is more idiotic, the members of these biker gangs or the Republican candidates?

[Minimalist]

That's a toss-up.

The republicunts are more dangerous, though.

It's way-koh.

The complicated thing about Texas is that our criminals are conservatives, our politicians are conservatives, our stupid people are conservatives, and our smart people are conservatives. This idiocy is fucking everywhere!!! * I don't have any problem with people being conservative but I hate how that's seen as the only acceptable belief. And I hate how people will glare at you if you wear clothes that aren't acceptable for church on Sunday afternoon. I do it every week, to piss them off.

*Not absolutely everywhere, though. A repellent does exist. My girlfriend and I have discovered that holding hands can empty a room of up to 10 people in under five minutes. Kissing seems to be an even more effective repellent, but more detailed trials are needed before we can safely announce the results.

I am aware of what the supposedly correct pronunciation is, of how it is pronounced on news programs and so forth.  My comment is a derogatory one about Waco.  I cannot recall that town ever being mentioned without it being in connection with something wacko going on.

As an aside, you presently have designated interesting "Religious views."

And your method of making Texans feel uncomfortable is amusing.  I think it is a good thing, as long as you are careful and stay safe.  It is good for them to be taken out of their comfort zone in such a way.  The idea that two women holding hands would clear a room really does lend credence to the claim that Texas is like a whole other country.  Where I am, most people would hardly notice or care.  (Fortunately, I live outside the Bible Belt in the U.S.)
