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.

Dems are gonna get their butts kicked again until they figure out what drove voters to elect Trump.

We already know. Inflation (2-4 years ago...it's been normal the past 2 or so years), and border security (which they tightened in late 2023 after complaints from members of their own party). And, of course, the paranoia about brown people ("they're eating the pets!"), and DEI; which was hyped-up by the right-wing propaganda machine. But mostly inflation and border crossings, both of which were under control in 2024, but apparently too late.

I strongly suspect that the Felon will create such a mess that the Reps are going to get their asses handed to them in 2026 and 2028. He's off to a stellar start for Dems.
