I have no effing clue why that editor noted the 'escorted out' language, nor do I pretend to know.

I will say that it really isnt a bright idea to roll a Biden campaign bus through a deeply red part of the state; kind of like why I wouldnt advise wearing a Trump MAGA hat in downtown Austin --- come to think of it, pretty much the same reason why I *specifically* dont wear my mask of the US flag anywhere much in Austin.

Funny that.

So instead of the slow, roll of pontificating, seems simple to me -- call her up and find out. Tell us what you learn.

I was responding specifically to your quote:

Quote:But, hate to tell you, not the smartest move in the world to do a Biden bus through the New Braunfels - San Marcos - Kyle - Buda corridor.

Wondering why it should be an issue for the bus to be there. That's from you and not the Houston Chronicle editor, correct?

Someone with a lick of sense would realize that that simply invites harassment.

Quote:*edit* do people actually give you a hard time with an American flag mask?

Yes.

Quote:Are we talking a police-thin-blue-line mask or just the regular stars and stripes?

Both. I have both, and the response in Austin is equivalent.

Quote:Do they give you a hard time about it being against flag regulations or because they equate it with being a Trumpist?

Yep, I am sure the Shaggies and Frizzy Goth Chicks are all up in the know about 'flag mores'. That *must* be the answer. What would we do without your insight there...

And the horrors of having a US flag bedecked shirt or other article of apparel. The sheer horror and terror of that.
