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.

yeah, toss the ballots if the house has a Trump sign in front of it"

Being a mail carrier, he would be talking about mail-in ballots. His nibs has been flipping and flopping on that one. In 2020, he was against absentee ballots, because Dems would tend to use them, due to the plague, but, since the plague didn't exist, to his goober base, they would vote in person. Then he was in favor of absentee ballots, because his goober base is getting more feeble every year.

From the Google net sifter:

Throughout 2024, Donald Trump encouraged his supporters to vote by mail, despite previously criticizing the practice and falsely claiming it led to fraud. This shift reflected a change in Republican strategy to embrace early voting methods.
Trump's position in 2024

Encouraged supporters: In 2024, Trump actively encouraged his voters to "vote any way possible," including by mail. The Republican Party also promoted mail-in voting as part of a multimillion-dollar effort to engage supporters.


So, now he's against it, again. Some 50 years ago, a class I was in discussed voter motivation. Seems that GOP voters are more militant, willing to crawl through broken glass to vote. Dems can be dissuaded by crummy weather. So. now, he is back to making it hard for people to vote, because that will favor the GOP. As offered before, I fully expect to be called in to the Township Clerk's office to show my papers proving citizenship, if not by 26, certainly 28, if his nibs intends to allow a vote at all.
