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.

You’re giving the people who not say that Trump is Hitler but his voters are also Nazis intellectual cover to keep doing the same kinda of things.

Dope, if you've followed me, I was using the term proto-fascist up until recently. Proto fascist regimes set the stage for evolving into full fascism. I recently said we've left the bank of the Rubicon and I don't know how far it is to the other side. Crossing the Rubicon means there is no going back. Once we reach the other bank and disembark, we are in an authoritarian state and the US as a democracy is history. I don't recall ever saying Trump is Hitler, but you've accused me of it. Part of Hitler's rise to power was things got better for a bit. He was popular - there's an old pic of the Queen as a child giving the Nazi salute. But I think Trump is going to screw up the economy and make everyone unhappy. America's saving grace my be that Trump doesn't really understand the economy. But in the meantime, Trump's consolidation of pwoer is calssic authoritarianism, and we have to see what holds up and what gives way. There's over three years left.

Albaby isn't giving any "intellectual cover" - it has everything to do with Trump's actions. It's real, this is not a game. We're all being pwned, including you.
