Sure, fuck with the soccer moms. See how that goes for you. Suburbanites are bored as fuck and treat paranoia as an all consuming hobby. They already have a Facebook group to report your cousin's car as a suspicious vehicle if they pop over to say hi, you think these fuckers can't spot an unmarked ICE SUV the second it strays into their turf? Curtain twitching is their only joy in life, this is gonna be like catnip to them.

At this point it's not really all that important if they're Trump friendly or not. ICE started shooting white people, and that broke the right wing social contract; "We'll allow any amount of authoritarian government over reach so long as we believe it will never be used against us."

Only in the Bible belt.

Honorary Bible belt.

arguably more bible belt than the bible belt if you consider how they literally form armies to take down the mormons to the north and the catholics to the south.
