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.

BHM:There it is. Are you guys ever going to figure out that normies have had enough of this crap.

When you say "normies" I take it you mean, uneducated, low-income men.
I conclude this because that is the only demographic Trump actually won.
Trump lost college educated women 61% to 37%.
Trump lost non college educated women 53% to 45%.
Trump lost college educated men 49% to 48%.
Trump won non college educated men 61% to 37%. (MAGA)

Over all, college graduates made up 43% of the electorate. Of that group, 55% voted for Vice President Kamala Harris and 42% voted for Donald Trump.
The numbers were almost exactly reversed among those who hadn’t graduated college, 42% of whom voted for Harris and 56% of whom voted for Trump.

For those wondering how an elderly sociopath who is also a convicted felon, could have prevailed in the 2024 presidential election:
21% of adults in the US are illiterate. This means that approximately one in five American adults cannot read or write at a basic level.
Additionally, 54% of adults have a literacy level below the sixth-grade level, indicating that over half of the adult population struggles with more complex reading tasks.
The United States ranks 36th in global literacy rankings.
