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.

The only people fixated on transgenders and bathrooms are right-wing wackos.

I don't think that's true. If it were, I wouldn't have seen an animated and giddy Kamala talking about "free transgender surgery in prison" commercials during the election... over and over and over again. Same for all the transgender sports commercials, ad nauseam.

You guys fell for all this crap (OMG! Eggs are so expensive!!!) and thought that a good solution would be to elect a sexual predator and convicted 34-count felon who has placed the biggest retards (I hope that is politically correct) in positions that will endanger our safety, our health, our lives, our rights, our standing in the world, and our national security.

Exactly! So many people did decide to vote for a 34-count felon. So many people went to the polls NOT wanting to vote for Trump and doing it. It really is food for thought, no?
If we are lucky - maybe the current president will screw up so badly that Democrats take back one or both branches of the legislature in two years. Maybe.
Maybe so many unqualified cabinet appointees won't get 4 years to screw things up. Maybe climate change can still be mitigated if we can get it together in the next 4 years. Maybe our reputation won't be shredded internationally.
Maybe Taiwan won't be in China's possession. Maybe the dollar won't be shredded and the economy won't implode by 2029. Maybe.

Then again, we still have a party that doesn't seem to learn. Maybe we can have a platform that decries the unfairness of society against Therians and the misuse of their pronouns.

All of these huge issues mentioned in your post - threatening stability worldwide - there is no one to stand up against them. Why?
Karl Rove used gay marriage and abortion to get George Bush elected twice (I'd kill to have George Bush in office right now). Now, gender issues, immigration, and yes, the economy were used masterfully - MASTERFULLY - and a 34-count felon was the choice of the voters.
We can sit around and blame people for their ignorance and stupidity OR we can take a long hard look at our own team and stop the unforced errors.

Is Karl Rove available?
