Grew up in a Texas suburb where not being staunchly Christian was a huge problem. But as the neighborhood filled out with East Asian immigrants, it grew more liberal by degrees simply because everyone wasn't going to the same three fucking churches.
The high school I went to that had big student-led church services in the cafeteria in the mid-90s just kinda... stopped doing that by the time I graduated because it was weird and none of the new kids were into it.
Then 9/11 happened and there was a huge backswing. But it was less "be religious" and more "be into country music and hating Muslims". And then a bunch of pasty white ROTC kids went off to Afghanistan/Iraq to get their shit kicked in for years, while more East Asian Muslims moved into the neighborhood.
Now the city council is halfway to a Rainbow Coalition (of Republican-aligned real estate agents) and you'd never even know it was Tom DeLay's home base 30 years ago.
This guy has never actually visited California.
I love that you're on a lemmy server of the socialist country of Canada.
