Outside of specifically political events like protests I've yet to meet a person who had any investment in Isntrael-Palestine stuff. Zero. People here have no idea what I'm talking about when I bring up Palestine. No one has commented on the keffiyehs or pins I wear unless they're also at the same pro-Palestine thing as me. A coworker the other day had never heard of Israel and she thought I was talking about Ukraine when I mentioned it.
It's bizarre. I hear stuff about rabid Zionists and I've never seen a single one. I live in Texas though.
There’s a rightwing town nearby that I’m forced to work in, and I’ve seen an Israeli flag and bumper sticker there. It’s always associated with really Christian / Trump people—Biden’s base, in other words.
plot twist: axont lives in Palestine, Texas
Oh I actually grew up near there lol, in the big thicket area (don't care if I get doxxed, I'm a known local trans commie person anyway )
