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.

Okay, yup. Ignored the poll. Noted.
The only poll I found that asked the question in the other direction was that 1 in 4 Republicans supported political violence...and that was even conditioned on an election being compromised.

Also ignored the NaziNaziNazi rhetoric that is 75-80% of the content on this board. Noted.

It's all designed to demean and dehumanize the other side. To reduce their credibility among voters, to use extreme rhetorical comparisons to make people believe that their political rivals are not merely goodhearted citizens who might simply fail to understand what's best for the country, but genuinely evil people who want bad things to happen because that's what evil people do.

Indeed it is. But so far, only one group is having to dodge bullets. Perhaps there's a difference in how one side processes information vs. the other side: some people can distinguish hyperbole from calls for Direct Action (<--- see what I did there) and others can't.
