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 thread reminds me of that.
leftists and those who get their "news" from the left wing bubble are CONVINCED that "the MAGAts" are going to go out in the streets and do...something.


Dope is funny. Trump prepped his followers he was going to lose, and a fabrication and lying machine started up. Where I was the MAGA folk kept saying "something big is going to happen". Over and over and over and over and over and over and over – and they were excited. I jeered them a little.

Then finally Jan 6 happened, and at first it seemed rather mild and then the rest of the films came out. So YES, something BIG did happen. We’d never had a President put together a scheme to throw out a free and fair election before and it looked like the Capitol was laid siege to by insurrectionists. We wondered who the zip tie guys were. Then it’s pieced together over a period of time and we get some convictions, but Trump is unscathed.

Then Trump gets convicted, and Dope turns to us and says – “Do you think we’re going to take that?” OOooooOOOooh. Sounds like he thought “Something big is gonna happen again.” And now he thinks it’s funny that we don’t put anything past the crew that backs the insurrectionists.

No, Dope, if Biden stays in the game and beats Trump, winning the Presidency again, I would expect “Something big to happen”, of sorts, because you’ve done it before.
