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.

"Yeah, no problem with that. You sprinkle some easter eggs into your speech, so that the folks who are in your base get the shout-out and appreciate that you see them."

It can reach further than the base if it is mentioned enough and the various negative aspects about it are mentioned enough. Take an elderly person who is a political layperson. They might be predisposed to vote for Trump because that is who their friends always support and Biden (Harris) is for open borders. That is the extent of their political "knowledge". Now they hear an ad about Project 2025 and how it aims to cut SS and Medicare benefits (or worse). Later on they hear another negative ad about Project 2025. Then they hear a congressman tie Project 2025 to Trump. Maybe they aren't as interested in voting for Trump anymore.
