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.

This is a very well written three part "letter" that paints a clear picture of where we are or will soon be. Some of it seems like it will apply more in 6 months than it does now, but it still rings true. Part 3 isn't available yet, but stay tuned! The letter is very long but worth the read.

An Open Letter to Trump’s True Believers: The Cult That Sold Out America—and Itself
Part 1 of "The Anatomy of American Betrayal"

A 3-Part Series Exposing the 7 Types of Trump Voters Who Unleashed Disaster and Doomed Themselves

The Anatomy of American Betrayal

You did this. You put him back in power. And now, you’re watching everything you believed in fall apart.

The rallies are over. The chants have faded. The red hats are fraying at the edges. The man you worshiped has returned to office, and reality is here to collect. The economy you thought he’d protect is unraveling. The freedoms you claimed to cherish are being trampled—not by some “woke mob,” but by the very man you swore was fighting for you. Your town is struggling, your paycheck is shrinking, your kids’ futures look bleaker by the day.

And the worst part? This isn’t just a downturn—it’s decay. Trump isn’t just burning the house down; he’s making sure there’s nothing left to rebuild. The damage isn’t just temporary—it’s structural. He’s gutting the very institutions that once kept your community, your family, and your future afloat.

But you won’t admit it, will you? Not yet. Because to admit it means facing the truth: You were lied to. You were used. You were played.

...etc...
