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.

But it's a class struggle, not a race struggle. Whites need to learn that. Or MAGA gonna be around till the Country burns down.

Democrats need to learn that. The last several years have seen the national party really emphasize the need to fight white supremacy (which lurks in nearly every system and institution) and to dismantle the patriarchy (ditto). It's hardly surprising that's cost them support among economic classes that they've traditionally done well with.

But I don't think Democrats will learn that, because it is also a race struggle. There really are severe problems that exist as a legacy of past discriminatory practices, and there's no way to remedy them without causing some less-than-maximal outcomes among whites and men (and especially white men). You can't fight white supremacy without removing whatever unfair benefits that accrue to white people under those systems....which means white people will be worse off under the new system than the old unfair one. Ditto the patriarchy.
