Tuscon, the city where snowbirds fly to during winter months. Full of retirees in mobile homes, mostly of Republican mindset. There is an interesting clash and assimilation into the Mexican heritage of Tuscon. They enjoy the sun, the food, the clay buildings. But there is a sense of mild fear towards the unknown the crime, the surrounding poverty. Without personally experiencing any hardships, they live some prejudices, as simple as locking their car doors only in certain places. And they may not be wrong all the time, as homelessness or drug use will often be a motive to steal. But I sense the MAGA agenda growing as these worlds collide.
They come to retreat from society and they are met with a bit of culture shock of an Arizona city. And the sequester to a gated community of mobile homes.
