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.

But conservatives have that power now, and in this context, and if progresses don’t start acting the way they expected conservative to act around things like the George Floyd murder, they are going to face even more blowback.

Disagree, what is happening is entirely different, as I'm sure you well know. While both Floyd and Kirk were killed on video, In George's case the murder was done by a state agent, a policeman. Floyd was not an influencer and if it hadn't been on tape, the cop would've walked. Younger folk took it as this was happening all the time and only came out THIS TIME because it was on video. That we were seeing a visual of a dark fungus creeping in our police.

Kirk was not killed by a state agent, there doesn't seem to be any black fungus creeping in progressives, if nothing else we take away that it might be caused by hate of trans folk - jury is still out.

We'd just had a video of a black jogger being murdered by three white boys, at least one a former cop, and it became evident that it would have been covered up, if one of the crew hadn't filmed. I still wonder why the attorney didn't get them to not give him the video. Lots of possibilities, but once he had it, he needed to turn it in.

The only guard rail left is the court system and we can't count on that. Let progressives face the blowback - how far into gestapoland are we going to go?
