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.

I've spent years saying how the Coastal 401K Sheeples keep losing because of their he/him they/them we love illegals and yawn if they kill Americans attitudes. And I'm RIGHT - because the losses keep mounting on them.

Before that, in the early 2000s when I was *against* path to citizenship as proposed by W, when I was *against* free trade deals people on both sides including my own were drinking the FOX Kool Aid and shouting "free trade!"---- yet now they see that opposing some of it - means winning elections. I had said to get off the anti-gay marriage thing because it's gonna be the law of the land and they said "my convictions! My principles!" yet here we are it is law of land, and even the Bush Twins are all for it.

So now..... we win. Again. And we make inroads with blacks, hispanics, and lower income folks and the "workers party" I've spoken about repeatedly is right there, visible, ready to become a multi-cycle American governing force and what are we dallying with?

TAKING HEATING OIL FROM PEOPLE.

SCREWING WITH PEOPLE'S MEDICAID

SCREWING WITH SCHOOL LUNCHES.

My God are we that stupid? Right now I'm sorry but we're dumber than Sheeple and if we don't stop this shit then we're as out of touch as Sheeple is.

If we want Speaker Hakeem Jeffries. If we want 2028's GOP nominee to be a Bob Dole sacrificial lamb. If we want Majority Whip or even Speaker AOC one day....then let's keep at this.

But if not, why not SOLELY use our political capital - which we have about 2 years to go with ---- on the stuff WE WON on? Drill, deport, stop interventions, etc. We should do it to the max, well beyond signing a god-damn order and showing the signature to the press like a 5 year old who painted a picture of a cat..

Oh the kicker: While we anger low income folks *some of whom vote with US now* - we want to give SALT relief back to Liberals because a few blue state Repubs want it.

Fine. Alienate OUR people - and help THEM.

Change course.

I know Trump can't be controlled but Suzie Wiles should shove her foot far up anyone's ass who tries to do dumb dumb shit like this.

Oh By the way for those of us who are "Christians" who love Big Crucifixes adorned on low cut dresses : Is screwing with poor people heating oil or low income kid lunches really what gets us off?

Jedi....friendless here as usual :)
