So - you talked politics in a BAR and were met by hostility and aggression?
In other news - water is in fact wet.
So I'm guessing you didn't read my post?
Apparently not.
I thought you were clear about it.
And I am assuming you read it? AS only 1 person identified themselves as a Bernie Supporter.

Well I am already counting on being pulled over for the window tint in Texas. I have been reading articles about how Colorado drivers are being targeted for weed. That combined with outward support of Bernie surely would not be welcomed by much love in the South.
But ill be honest i do not know. It is my first time down there i just know how those states' constituents vote.

1) I'm seeing someone
2) Yep
3) Read the OP
Sit at the bar at the end and there are two women chatting and laughing. The one nearest me is attractive late 40s and attractive, her friend not so much and the yappy one of the two. The closest one to me starts talking to me

Hey all of ATS. I am driving to Alabama through Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana this week. My car has tinted windows and Colorado plates. Think i should slap a Bernie sticker on there?
I probably would not make it to AL haha.

Why shouldn't people be intolerant of people who entered the country illegally? What do you have against deporting them? It's not the American taxpayer's job to pay for these people who don't care about our laws and only really want to be here to exploit the country.

I see many Bernie bumper stickers in Dallas. Austin has lots of Bernie supporters. I highly doubt you'll encounter opposition in Texas over this.

I don't believe the most extreme response to deport 11 million people is necessary. What do I have against it? The total destruction it does to families who have made this place their home. People who are paying rent or bills, going to school, working jobs-- to be completely uprooted and deported-- it's draconian.
Illegal downloads are a big problem too. Criminals collectively stealing millions if not billions from the economy. But should we fine every man, woman, and child hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, the worst possible punishment, and destroy lives all across the country... just because we can? The problem is too big, so a path to legalization is offered these people.
Bottom line, I see a path to legalization the best course of action.

Houston, Dallas and Austin - okay. You won't find too many Bernie supporters in Odessa, San Angelo, or any one of the millions of tiny highly conservative towns in far west or far east Texas.

Snowflake" is a word reserved for people who think they're special.
I understood what happened... I think... you didn't claim to support anyone, just mentioned Trump's name. You could of been opening a discussion about how ridiculous Trump is, but at the mere mention of his name people assumed you are a Trump supporter.

I thought they were the tolerant ones.
Why so much hate.
Not enough free stuff for them yet?
Hate so much they decided to get onto the Internet and inform random strangers about it?
Wait a second. Now I'm 'hateful' for posting an experience...in a political forum? To strangers?
This is ATS. Did I miss something?
