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.

Because it was fact. That was a private event. Not a government one.

And literally nobody disputes that. He's asserting there's no possible way that this kind of thing could ever be hosted in the ballroom, however.

The statistics show that -where affiliation is determined- it us more often the 'right'.

I doubt that very much. And that's an interesting claim to make in light of the fact that armed left wingers keep making runs at Trump.

Maybe to register to vote, you have to surrender all firearms (and not buy any new ones). What do you think that would do to the voting landscape? Dems would win all elections every time, since Reps are gun owners by better than 2:1 (about 45% to 20%)

Yeah, we're not doing more gun control because of this. What needs to happen is that the left wing needs to check its crazies. Based on what I'm seeing democrat pols say and from what I'm reading on this board, the opposite is happening.

If anything all this is demonstrating it's that the right wing in this country is a) remarkably tolerant and b) showing incredible restraint. Had some right winger done this to a left wing politician there would be a very different "national conversation" taking place. What we're getting now is a lot of left wingers claiming Trump staged the whole thing and a lot of democrats claiming they never said anything inflammatory.
