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.

The democrat party has moved further and further left ……

Actually, the far left has lost power and the base of the Democratic Party has moved to the center. It only looks like they’ve moved further left to you because you’ve moved so far to the extreme right.

As I said: this is what some lefty thinks right wingers want: Elect Trump, dissolve the government, and have The Big Orange Generalissimo rule the United States forever.

Uh, no.

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.’”

Sure, he only wants to be dictator for one day. Only a fool would believe that. Why would we let anyone who wanted to be a dictator, even for an hour, near power? How un-American.

America lost 2.9 million jobs under Trump’s watch (the ONLY president to lose jobs in the modern era) and unemployment rose to 6.3%. Covid deaths were worse in red states because blue states followed science and red states followed Trump’s stupid and irrational advice. We had food lines for the first time since the Great Recession. His presidency was corrupt and many of his advisors did jail time. He divided the country with his hate filled rants. No other country trusted their secrets with us because Trump was so easy to manipulate. Foreign policy was for sale to the highest bidder. And nazis were “some very fine people ….” It was impossible to keep up with his pathological lying and autocratic tendencies.

The Republicans are so pathetic, the best person they could come up with was a charity stealing, adjudicated rapist, ignorant bully, insurrectionist, dictator-loving, 34-count felon. That’s the best you could come up with.

America isn’t falling apart, the Republicans are.
