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.

Let’s also note that this election isn’t about a single issue. Not a one. Because if it were, the hollowed out intellectual husk that is the democrat party would be on full display.

Literally all the time you see debates and discussions about Conservatism, Republicanism, what have you. Where are these debates with the illiberals? You don’t. They’re the party of the emotional sugar high you get from snorting cotton candy crystals…no lasting substance; only a search for the latest group of “victims” they can enrage with hatred and point toward The Enemy. It’s not a healthy intellectual lifestyle to be that Outrageously Outraged 24/7 and politics by exploiting divisions is how you break a country.

It’s not a formula for leading one.

We see around the country democrat policies failing left and right amd the sad results on display. Crime. Inflation. An open border. Chaos overseas. Useless debates about gender ideology. Woke policing policies that favor the criminal over the victim. More.

If it were anyone but Trump running - say, DeSantis - he’d be on his way to a 40 point Boatracing of Biden’s replacement (because the democrats would have yanked him from the ticket faster than you can say ‘Cannibal Poop’).

Alas.
