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.

Trump seems quite moderate about all this, right?
Actually he does.
None of you people are really thinking clearly, but ask yourself these questions:
If Trump wanted to be a dictator, why didn't he lock the nation down and declare Martial Law for COVID in 2020?
If Trump wanted to be a dictator, why didn't he cancel the 2020 elections using COVID as an excuse?


There was certainly no legal basis to cancel the elections, and he didn’t have the temerity to issue a full time lockdown, he wasn’t even sure he had the power to do a lot of things.

That has changed. He now believes he has the courts, he will probably have the House and Senate, and worst of all, he has his inflated sense of self. He is arguably *far worse* than he was 4 years ago. He now says one of his biggest mistakes was listening to his advisors when they tried to talk him down off some extreme position. This time that likely won’t happen.

And, as virtually every person who has worked with him to any degree now agrees, he’s a farking idiot.
