But if news from my small city is any indicator, I don’t feel optimistic. A local mosque applied for rezoning to expand on their own property, and maga sheep showed up to the mosque’s meeting with the city. They bleated for several hours about sharia law being imposed in a place that’s about 99% christian. They were whipped into a frenzy by Abbott, Self, and others and are ecstatic to have something they think resembles a cause.
Obviously those morons don’t represent the whole state, but the magat politicians are having success with their fear campaigns as usual.
It is possible to change. We’re getting our first halal restaurant in the deep south city I work in, and no one cares. I say this having access to planning board actions. I didn’t see a single mention about it. This area still has a long way to go, but these little steps are so important in order to make change.
It’s entirely possible some are waiting for it to be done to then complain. But hopefully, truly no one cares. And hopefully we get to a point where no one cares about religion at all, and we just go beyond all that :)
As a resident I’ll be thrilled if Talarico wins.

Everyone hate sharia law until they get those j u i c y halal burgers
Sad to see that Self’s completely transparent fear mongering is working in McKinney.
