@M12RUS True though he did kinda put us all into it because of Israel and now it's like if he gets out then it'll look bad on us and on him.
Feels like this could be a Vietnam war lite.
And China is more of our real threat anyway.
It's so frustrating
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen Exactly!!
And even in Texas both the anglo Texans and the Tejanos get along so well after some turbulent history back then.
If we can get over that and we did
New Mexico can do the same too.
@PatronAspen@john_st_helen Like it's conservative here yes but it's not like we're racist to each other and we aren't
We focus on the community side of things and live by common goals and ideals and maybe that's why it just works here.
Idk it's hard to explain you just gotta be here to see it
@PatronAspen@john_st_helen Same and that's why I think the rest of the state can learn a thing or two from the east.
We set our differences aside and find a lot in common and that's why we just coexist together.
It's often overshadowed by the rest of NM sadly
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen Oh and Roswell it's lame even for someone that lived there and goes there often.
I got burnt out by the UFO stuff and tbh at least it has good places to eat... And Whataburger.
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen Oh it's cool and people are so nice here for the most part. But thing is it's not really that New Mexican . When you get here you're gonna see a big refinery and lots of oil offices. It's basically west Texas hahaha
Oh and big high school football stadium lol.
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen South Texas born and raised and moving up to Odessa. It's gonna be different but I hope it goes well man!
Sounds good! :) you'll be an hour to Hobbs when you move and you're gonna be surprised to how west Texas it is hahaha.
But you can definitely go back to the mountains easy
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen A more positive way.
Honestly I just want both the anglos and the Hispanics to coexist together here. It's iffy in other parts of the state
But the eastern part were doing so well with coexistence it needs to be set as a good example tbh
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen Aw man but it's understandable, like at least their ancestry goes back to Texas but i get it.
And you're right it sucks when as a Hispanic I hate to see it because I find the contribution of Anglo New Mexicans well besides the north to be good and it should be recognized in-
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen Roswell is cheaper than the other cities in Eddy and Lea since it's in Chaves County. It's like Lubbock lite except more crime.
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen I live in Artesia right now for now.
But there's a chance I may move to Lubbock when my family is heavily concentrated in the Permian basin .. it's expensive there lmao. So is Artesia for housing at least but it's fine.
Lubbock is cheaper to live though. I prefer it
@PatronAspen@john_st_helen Though we hate how liberal it is but eh it's whatever
But Texans like that do respect the regional culture and traditions and if they didn't ? They wouldn't be in NM
But the southeast part is just west Texas but in another state. At least TX should have that again.
@PatronAspen@john_st_helen Tbh those rats likely vote Dem and bring over their bullshit here and trying to either fit in or be quirky and cool when they look like clowns
Now ik the GOP is also shit but at least conservative Texans don't go around telling New Mexicans bs
@john_st_helen@PatronAspen And also living in the southeast and I swear the radio of NM and Texas plates are the same. It's hilarious how it is but of course oilfield reasons and families coming over to visit family and do some stuff here.
