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.

Then what a flaming fool you are to have voted for Trump.

You and Umm can climb down your high horse. I voted for Harris. Cannot vote for a delusional liar. Besides the point.
But I also live in California, and there does not seem to be an end to the Democrats' appetite to support minority groups and to demand more money from middle-class people like me.
To someone else up thread, I do support equal rights. But having trans women compete in women's sports is not equal rights any more than having Michael Phelps compete in the Paralympics. Have some common sense.
BLM started out of a true injustice, but "defund the police" turned me off. As did occupy Wall Street and pro-Palestinian students occupying campuses. Democrats love lawbreakers, never clearer than in the craphole that San Francisco became, but these examples as well.

BTW name one majority-Black city in California where you will feel safe walking the streets. Compton, Hawthorne, Oakland? Race by itself doesn't matter but when you mix it with politics it does. Even Californians have had it, which is why the felony threshold for shoplifting is back to $250 again.
Republican lawbreakers - the January 6ers and the neo-Nazis are a distant problem. The homeless and the shoplifters are a local problem and all politics is local.
