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.

They were able to reject Democracy, remove a President who was actually voted in by people. Install a candidate that never won a primary.

And they have in their arsenal Obama, Clinton, Goldman Sachs, Cheney, NeoCons, Goldman Sachs and they are days away from beating this yum-yum armed with a twitter account - if he still has it. I've not watched closed enough to know.

But, shouldn't they be relieved and happy that their great triumph is near?


Not only this, but they have a great Team-up going where Big Tech is working with the DOJ and other Feds to censor their political opponents. And the DOJ itself is launching investigations into the democrats' political foes.

Seems like we *do* have some fascist tendencies around here...but it ain't coming from Trump.

They're unhappy because they're fundamentally unhappy people who require daily affirmation that they're Good and Honest And Just Wonderful Citizens Who Care So Much. (Never mind that actually doing good, helping people and being right isn't a part of that equation). It's why you see so many liberals loudly broadcast their political affiliations and loudly proclaim support for X or Y. To them the mere act of just shouting something to earn that Participation Trophy is the dopamine hit they need.

For a few of them, that's not enough. They need everyone else to echo the same stuff they say to one another and when their ""ideas"" meet resistance...well, persuasion is not something their minds are capable of.

So they lash out. You read it every single day here - they have us outnumbered like 10 to 1 and still can't convince anyone of anything. Statistics demands that at least one of them would be able to come up with some kind of way to support what they think but...alas.
