We live in rural southeast New Mexico and make the drive to El Paso once a month to hit Costco, Sprouts, etc.
The stores we went to all had “masks required per CDC guidance” signs, but we just walked right in maskless.
None of the employees said anything, but dammit EVERY customer that I saw was wearing a mask.
Damn near broke my heart.
There's pockets of Shithole in our based state. Mostly will find it in the Austin, DFW, Houston, and border areas. But Texas is definitely a red state.
