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.

The population of Minneapolis is over 400,000.

Very likely those "tens of thousands" of "protestors" aren't all from Minneapolis, and many are likely from out of state.

But you're saying maybe 5% of the population--O.K. let's call it 10% to give you the benefit of the doubt--get to determine state and federal immigration policy in Minneapolis?

That's not just a minority, it's a fringe minority.

People who disagree with the fringe minority, at least most of them, know better than to go out on the street and counter-protest. Who wants to get beat up and attacked? Normal people don't. Also, they have jobs, school, and families keeping them quite busy most of the time.

You don't believe in democracy, do you.

You're so proud of your radical left heckler's veto.

But that's all it is.

You prefer violence over democracy.
