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.

Dope1: I don't think you understand what it means when you dehumanize your opponents...

Sure we do.

Here's an example: “Nobody has any idea where these people are coming from. ... It’s poisoning the blood of our country.”

And another: “We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.”

And another: “In some cases they're not people, in my opinion. But I'm not allowed to say that because the radical Left says that's a terrible thing to say. These are animals, OK, and we have to stop it.”

And another: “When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!”

And another: “They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done. They poison mental institutions and prisons all over the world, not just in South America … but all over the world. They’re coming into our country from Africa, from Asia, all over the world.”

Dope1: I hope you don't find out.

We've already found out. Just look at yourself. You spent years crying that Clinton belonged in prison for mishandling classified documents but now that it turned out that the convicted felon Donald Trump mishandled hundreds of physical top secret documents -- and personally removed them from the U.S. government and took them to Mar-a-Lago -- you can't bring yourself to even criticize his behavior let alone call for him to leave the presidential race or -- heaven forbid -- say that he belongs in prison.

Because you're in a cult.
