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.

And those values are at odds with MAGA. Look at the poll data. Whether it's tax policy, immigration/deportation, health care, wars, due process, abortion, tariffs, etc., etc., MAGA is not most ordinary middle-class Americans.

That is for certain. Americans, in general, are not cruel, and don't like injustice. We get a lot of that from this current government.

But the Dems are also culpable. "Not-Trump" is only a beginning. You actually have to have more to say than "Trump is terrible" (which he most definitely is). And, so far, they mostly don't. The few times Schumer says anything, it's more embarrassing than it is a "zinger" or "sharp retort". If he's the leader of the party, Dems are doomed. Obama would be a good leader, but he's showing little interest in returning to the fray (and I can't blame him). Who else do we have? The Dems are mostly quiet, which is -frankly- pathetic.
