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.

Talk about misinformed.
Your party used to be staunchly anti-communist and pro-military. JFK even cut taxes for crying out loud.


Yes, let’s talk about the misinformed.

I’m assuming you get your news from Fox. You know, the station that voluntarily paid over three-quarters of a billion dollars to settle a lawsuit for lying. Enough said.

So which party’s policy is to fund Ukraine in its fight against communist Russia? And which party thinks communist Russia’s leader is “brilliant” and “savvy” for invading Ukraine. And which party is telling communist Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to spread communism across Europe.

And one party showed respect and dignity during a gathering to honor our fallen soldiers while the other party characterizes our soldiers as “suckers”, “losers” and “fools.”

JFK cut taxes, sure. So did Clinton, but at least he created a budget surplus. Republican tax cuts, primarily for billionaires, only add trillions to our deficit.

Now, you want d1cks in women’s locker rooms, math and being on time is racist and you despise the country so much we can’t have statues of Abraham Lincoln or Thomas Jefferson. And oh, yeah - police are ACAB.

I consider myself to be politically active, but I’m not sure where this obscure list came from. Perhaps your beloved Fox. I seem to recall one school district in CA was ting to remove Lincoln’s name from the school, but it was never enacted after an uproar from parents. Like I said, pretty obscure stuff and certainly nothing to do with national politics.

But let’s stick with political policies.

Let’s talk about the Republican Party policies, the party that dresses up like their dear leader in order to worship and kneel before the almighty individual they put before the Constitution.

They enact laws to prevent women from getting the healthcare they want and ban abortions even in the case of rape and child incest. They endanger women’s lives in order to force women to obey their personal religious beliefs.

They think illegal immigrants are taking away jobs from blacks. And, when they tried to block counting votes in 2020, every district they sued was a majority black district. I know, just a coincidence. And now the SCOTUS has given permission to states to gerrymander black voters to restrict their voting impact. The court told them to say it was based on politics, not race. Wink, wink.

They use political power to attack corporations for internal policies they disagree with, for banning books, and imposing false historical teaching in our schools (slavery was good for blacks).

Their leader literally quotes Adolf Hitler and he claims he never read books by him. I kind of believe that because he never reads. Which means that Trump thinks like Hitler.

They think that supporting an adjudicated rapist is ok, as well as a 34-count rapist. They think stealing from a charity is ok.

They think illegal immigrants collect Social Security. They don’t. However, they do pay into Social Security. But separating babies from their mothers is a good thing.

Just a short list. There's much more.

Sure, this country is being ripped apart. Check your hands for the blood.
