The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This thread is Path A all the way. Is that the path you want to follow?

In general, path B. But those 20-30 million people don't want to listen. They don't want to discuss. They have their heads so far into the MAGA-propaganda sphere that they are not in touch with reality on many (if not most) issues.

I could provide several anecdotes, but that would be too small a dataset. We can look at the "conversations" going on all around us, and see that one side isn't conversing. They're accusing.** We can at least discuss with you and BHM and a few others here. But I suspect you guys aren't part of that 20-30 million people. In fact, I know you aren't since you've said publicly that if Trump is the nominee, you may not vote for him. That 30M people not only will vote for him, but they aren't even interested in listening to the other candidates from their own party. Which is how Trump is getting away with not showing up to any of the primary-related events (like the "debates").




**Specifically that the election was stolen, despite the facts; that Trump did nothing wrong, despite the recent court rulings, indictments, testimony, etc ("oh, that's a big conspiracy of the liberal courts!!"). And on and on and on...
