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.

Which isn't cutting Social Security because some think tank wants him to. Which isn't banning pornography because some cultural Christian thinks its bad. Which isn't burning his political capital on a national abortion ban when he doesn't even care about abortion and it won't win him a single extra supporter.

Trump's method of staying out of jail has been handed to him. He needs to win for everything to work out, and it looks like he is going to do just that. So why risk anything? The evangelical base isn't going to leave him. None of his base is going to leave that I can see. I'm not sure at all what messaging we can do to pick off any wobblers, but it's probably not P2025.

I posted the survey on P25 because it showed what people thought would really hurt, and none of that is on the MAGA platform that I know of. By taking abortion, etc., out of the platform we can't hit them with "Trump will make Doctors State Agents". Trump is blunting what we can throw at him because its good for him. We need a simple winning message.
