I’ve spent the past few days driving across the country. The natural beauty of Arkansas and of Oklahoma surprised me. The aggressive, creepy white Christian evangelical vibe of western Tennessee did not surprise but it disturbed me. The Texas panhandle was as nuts as I anticipated. Some billboard messages from Texas follow. 1/
@heidilifeldman ah Tennessee. That's where I live. People love their trump flags here and there are some bizarre religious billboards. Here are a couple in Alabama that make me roll my eyes.
In Texas, we saw several billboards advertising Indian food in Hindi, seemingly aimed at the Punjabi truck drivers passing through. Hadn’t expected that. 4/
@heidilifeldman This is the billboard I’d like to see put up in the deeply red states… maybe it would get some of them to mask up. Sharing the info with some dyed in the wool MAGA couldn’t hurt. Even the ones complaining about it would spread the message as well. #Covid#CovidIsNotOver#CovidIsAirborne#GOP#USPol
@heidilifeldman A few years back I was amazed to find so many billboards for vasectomy reversal while driving through those parts. Surely there’s more to the story, rooted in a church, a radio personality, and/or a conspiracy theory.
