This is a serious over-generalization. Brownsville and the RGV vote reliably Democratic, and abuse of authority situations, involving school districts, criminal justice systems, and the police, et al, absolutely happen all over the country.
Was in the RGV right before Trump was elected - and again during the Beto-Cruz fight - the amount of support for conservatives there is MIND BOGGLING. I kept asking ‘how the fuck are so many latinos in the can for Cruz and Trump?’ I do not understand, especially around Harlingen and the other ‘towns’ down there.
Because it’s Texas. The answer is always because it’s Texas… Well, okay. Sometimes it’s Florida too.
