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.

DOPE I’m convinced that a lot of our sparring partners don’t really know anything about politics and/or the people they “support”. It’s just too easy to see that they have no idea what’s going on in Kamalaland like you just did…

ME No, Kamala's position on tariffs is very different.

SNIP: Vice President Kamala Harris has backed the Biden administration’s targeted tariffs on only certain Chinese imports – such as a 100% rate on electric cars and a 50% rate on solar panels – arguing it will bolster domestic manufacturing without causing wider economic damage.

Former President Donald Trump, meanwhile, has proposed an across-the-board rate of “more than” 60% on Chinese imports, and a rate of 10% – or even 20% – on all other imports, in order to revive the U.S. manufacturing sector and reduce reliance on foreign trade.


ME: Fracking? Her view is different and adopted before she became VP.

SNIP Harris told CNN’s Dana Bash that she believed progress on climate change was possible without a ban on the oil extraction practice, pointing to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act that included investments in clean energy...

...Harris had called for a fracking ban in 2019 while campaigning for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential primary.

She switched her view on fracking after dropping out of the primary race and before President Joe Biden selected her as a running mate. SNIP

ME: Border? Very different, and I just discussed part of it with 1pg, so please read that."

Border crossings have dropped precipitously due to Biden's efforts of "right way" and "wrong way" for asylum, etc., that discourages border crossings. I'm still puzzling over parts of it, but it is very different from the inhumane threats of internment camps, mass deportations made by a desperate Trump.

But for some right wingers ignoring and pretending is a way of life.
