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.

There will be a flurry LM, then it will die off if you let it. If you glorify the sick message it will continue. We have messages from a Repub Gov (whom I don't quite trust to reveal the truth), but all I have to do is wait. My worry is that there'll be signs of tampering and shaping the message, in which case we are pretty far gone. I remember when there were chants of civil war going around on the right. I took it as hyperbole then, but I don't now. We may have to deal with that while getting our country back - IF we get it back.

The local Dems are gearing up for canvassing. I've done that before, and I listened to the messaging. We will have scripts for starters, but last time I was in CA. This time in Fl. She emphasized that you ask the person "Would you like to help us elect Democrats?" and leave them with an application for a mail in ballot. Just fill in 3 things on the app and give them the application to fill out the rest. Tout it as back up. If they use it, fine. If they go down to vote without it, they'll get a provisional ballot, which is just fine, the pollsters check to make sure the mail in ballot wasn't used. You can take it with you and surrender it, in which case you'll get a regular ballot. I'm going to knock on a thousand doors before this is done. And attend everything. I'm also gearing up for VITA.

I don't think there's an open season on Democrats yet, but the right is very violent, shirks all responsibility, and generally thinks laws are for thee, but not for me. That Idea fostered by the pardons that violence can be wiped clean is real. There's a steaming caldron over on the right that wants to explode now. Trump is fanning the flames. We have an aging psycho for President.
