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 same could be said of most Trump supporters. They try to justify Trump, claiming both side do bad things, or that there is some problem with the Democratic candidate, or they just "like Trump". If they're being honest, they'd admit that they like the misogyny and racism and crass behavior and criminality that he mostly gets away with, because they are also misogynists and racists and crass and wish they could get away with criminal behavior.

I'm tired of taking the high road in discussions with these MAGA idiots. It's time to call them what they are.

Yep. There is no reason to pretend that Trump supporters are normal people. After everything that has come out over the past 8 years, anyone still supporting Trump has something seriously broken inside of them. Some are just mindless idiots like Dope who will swallow whatever is fed to them. Others are bigots like BHM who like Trump simply because Trump is willing to hate the same minorities BHM has been taught to hate. Others are like LM who are just plain ignorant. Finally there are those broken few like Jedi who tolerate Trump simple because they know he will punish the liberals.

Whatever the reason, they are more than willing to twist themselves into knots defending the indefensible. They will be defend stuff that would make any normal, rational human being hold their noses. But defend it they do.

Those people have shown their true colors. No need to pretend otherwise.

Again, this is not about partisanship. Vote for Romney, or Cheney, or McCain, or even Haley. Ok. I disagree, but I get it.

Voting for Trump means you are one of the following:

1. Ignorant (most of his followers).
2. Manipulative. You know who he is but are willing to support him for what is in it for you (think Musk, Graham, and McConnell).
3. A despicable human being. You want him to punish the Jews, the Blacks, the Liberals, the immigrants and the what nots.

Trump supporters have shown who they are. Believe them. No need to pretend otherwise.
