well no but its true that there are very few afr-ams right on the south texan mexican border

incidentally, the rio grande valley and el paso areas were ranked by 538 as the least similar to what the average u.s. town might look like, due to both regions being 70-90% hispanic

Good news about Vidor:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidor,_Texas

quote:

In 2005 and 2008, Vidor and surrounding areas suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Ike. A mandatory evacuation was imposed upon its residents for about two weeks.

what was the modern day party equivalent allegiance of the prohibition legislators and president etc?

the early prohibition movement was people who supported establishing income tax, women's suffrage, bimetallism, the grange movement and prohibition. it originated from plains-states populism. which might explain why there were exceptions to the volstead act that allowed farmers to keep one barrel of hard cider or wine around the house to treat guests or use privately so long as they didn't sell any.

another exception to prohibition was that you could purchase it if you had a prescription. which is how walgreens grew into a large chain, mostly by writing prescriptions for medicinal alcohol


e: for modern equivalent: let's see, like 10-20% of the voters in the plains were christian socialists and progressives who voted for the socialist party. then there were jim crow supporters in the south (the democrats back then, who are closer to republicans now), and political machines in the northern cities (the republicans back then, closer to democrats now) and the temperance people/plains progressives more often than not sided with the latter if it came down to the two main parties. the president (who was a democrat) actually didn't have anything to do with prohibition, and vetoed it but congress overrode the veto.

No because they're all incompetent at national campaigns, just like Bernie

Or they're competent but won't be 35 in time, let alone have held the sort of state or federal office that presidential candidates usually have
