The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Since they could not run on policy because almost all of their policies were failures, and their actions had hurt America with endless wars, tariffs, and inflation. The GOP did not have much to run on these midterms. So they did what they always do when they have nothing else to run on. They tried to scare Americans (Obama is going to take your guns!). They said if Democrats are elected, they will make it so your kids can go to school as Timmy and come home from school as Sally. They said Democrats were Muslim Jihadists. They were commie socialists. and so on and so on.

It got to be absurd.

I know for the past few weeks it became a running joke by comedians. Every late-night host has made a joke about the absurdity of Democrats corrupting your children into having a sex change.

In the past few days though I realized the absurdity of the statements had also reached the mainstream. Dealing and playing poker, I am constantly around a lot of everyday Americans from all across the country from all walks of life. Lately more and more people have been laughing at such statements for being absurd. I have heard at least a dozen or so jokes about changing sexes in the past week. The whole Republican line of attack became a national joke.

That is what results in an election wave. When one party has become a national joke.

So go back of the past few weeks and see how many times Dumbass Dope, LOLMom, or Marco the Russian Puppet made comments about Trans Muslim Commie Socialists and realize that although they thought they were being serious, they didn't realize that anyone with 1/2 a braincell saw it as a joke.
