Are things.... changing? Here? In TEXAS? [1]

Things change so slowly or so subtly that I don’t always notice it happening. And then something happens and I suddenly realize there is a definite change. And it happened in a couple of instances just since yesterday.
I was taking my wife to the doctor, which is a visit we have fortunately not needed to do for several months. Sitting in the waiting room it caught my attention that unlike all previous times, we were not hearing the fairly unbalanced Faux news spewing the usual garbage to the captive audience. Just an innocuous home improvement show. And thinking of that, I also realized I didn’t see it the day before when I took my friend to his doctor. Or the last time I was at the oil change place. And my dentist. The blood bank too.
And then today I was sitting at a traffic light and I noticed something I haven’t seen in weeks, a flag truck. Not with a bunch of F-— Biden, Rambo tRump, or Don’t Tread On Me flags. Just a single, simple US flag. The stars and stripes. Not upside down either. Just a nonpolitical display of, dare I say, patriotism? National pride?
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen nearly the amount of red hats at the grocery store either. Are they getting tired of paying the costs to “own” the libs? Or are they just not as eager to identify with the brain damaged buffoon running ruining the country, or tRump either?
I mean this is the red, redneck, dead center of TEXAS, for crying out loud. What’s going on? I remember it wasn’t this way the first time Agent Orange and his MAGAiniacs were in charge.
I’m beginning to think that now that the harm being done by the bad ideas and recklessness of this time around are becoming obvious, even his base is starting to realize he can’t deliver on what he promised. Or could it be the reason is he’s actively hurting the people that he promised he would make this country into a right wing blowhard christofascist paradise. And they’re feeling the hurt and not seeing any of the benefits that would begin “ON DAY ONE”!
