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.

Wouldn't you agree, though, that Trump has had more than ample opportunity to clarify his statement, to express his objection to the Proud Boyz violent neo-fascist m.o. ?

Yes, that's true. His lack of any attempted clarification is telling.

So, why hasn't he, and why doesn't, he condemn the Proud Boyz, white nationalists, and religios that are weaponizing 'christianity'? Of course we both know the answer.

Well, even though he doesn't want to condemn them for fear of alienating a component of his base, I don't think clarifying his "stand back and stand by" statement would alienate his base.

McCain had a moment when he famously corrected a white woman about Barak Obama's status as an American. He paid dearly for being honest and honorable in that moment.

Yes, that was a true honorable thing for McCain to do. I always respected him for that. He is a decent man.
