Here is the strange thing about masks in Texas. A few days ago I met a Texas man in a local Walmart who claimed you do not go anywhere without a mask in Texas. Next, Abbott eliminates the mask order and in the same Walmart I met another Texas man who said how glad he was. He claimed nobody wore them anyway. States aside, I think this is why America is having so much trouble with the pandemic.

Most of the population of Texas is not affected by his order. Counties, schools, and businesses all are still going to require masks in order to enter. It will no longer have the force of law, but business in Texas has a very strong legal standing to determine who is and who is not allowed into their establishments.

As the Cajuns like to say--the only difference between a coon-ass and a dumb-ass is the Texas State Line! Actually, I shouldnt be so judgemental. Modern Texans are too diverse to stereotype. And Texas, like California and Florida, has become a population magnet for people from all over.

I worked in Louisiana and Texas in the patch. Im very familiar with both. My brother who has lived in Texas for 30+years calls then Bubbas and Broudeaus.
Actually it’s Evangelical.
We even got a troll on here from Texas. Many here have went at it with him.

They’ll vote for Abbott again. Just like they did Rick Perry, another religious whackjob.

I would say that not all Texans are stupid, but then I remember I tell people that I escaped from Texas instead of saying that I moved away.

I am stealing that! It sounds so much more truthful than “I moved away”!! 
Especially when talking about Texas!!!!
@Redheadedgammy So did you escape or did you move? Just trying to be a smart ass.
I think it is up to all the people who now have the freedom to kill themselves to learn to spell this word. The people of Texas are now at the apex of the experiment to see just how many people can be culled from this society. Please let them all be conservatives and prove their stupidity by not being smart enough to live.

You don’t like personal responsibility???
Individuals must be forced to feel the way you do about masks???
Now..... Can you give me the definition of fascism???

Sure Republican Party. Fascism is generally considered a far right political movement. Mussolini was considered a Fascist.
@t1nick That’s an opinion. Can you give a definition though?
I’d 
a definition.
@CourtJester Fascism and Nazism were essentially the same thing.......no civil liberties, state sanctioned religion, the head of state is the voice of “God”, persecution of minorities.
It’s basically the same thing as communism. Except in a communist country, all businesses are owned and run by the government, no one allowed to run a business for profit. In Nazi Germany, business owners loyal to Hitler continued to own and run their businesses. But they had no freedom, were told what to manufacture and how much to charge.
Court Jester: Do you stop at red lights & Stop signs every time, or only when you feel like it? Why/whynot?
@OldMetalHead But, this is what happens when people mistake paint chips for potato chips and eat them for 10 years.......Or maybe tried eating soup with a knife.
From dictionary.com: fascism (1) a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
No one has to feel the way I do about masks any more than they are forced to feel the way I do about a lot of things. The difference is that masks protect the community from a potentially deadly disease. Refusing to wear one in public isn't about personal responsibility, but about a lack of concern for the community. You may be fine, but others you infect may not be.
