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.

>>1.)Trump is gone. Forever.


2.)It forces the Democratic Party to reform itself.<<

Yes on both. If Trump wins, he's an immediate lame duck President and after his four years, he retires. That's it. The best he can do is be Kingmaker for the 2028 election and that's it. ,- Dope


-----------------------

Even if Trump loses, his MAFAfying, energizing and awakening the Republican Party from its moribund history of going along to get along, will have long lasting positive impact for our country. It will take a while to phase out the entrenched fossils who have have been running things.

That said, Trump should not have messed with Roe V Wade. And I admire his stay out of wars instincts, but he should make clear he and the US are 100% supportive of Israel and Ukraine. Both of those are better uses of our resources than nation building in tribal societies like Iraq or Afghanistan.
