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 most importantly - he's too freaking old to serve as a rallying point for establishing a dictatorship. You have to be able to convince powerful people to gamble treason for a chance to put you in charge for life - and that usually requires more "life" on your side of the equation to make it worthwhile."

Perhaps I've just read more social media comments than you, but it's clear that many MAGAts see Uday Trump and Qusay Trump as heirs to the throne when the Orange Rapist is laid to rest in a 24K gold sarcophagus, permanently enshrined on a pedestal in the center of the Capitol rotunda, like Napoleon in the chapel of Les Invalides.

They exhibit a similar affinity for self-aggrandizement and shameless disregard for truth as their Orange Rapist of a father. It's very much a family affair.

As media phenoms like Schwarzenegger and Trump prove, you can fool enough of the people enough of the time to make the unimaginable happen.
