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.

So GOP is a Jonestown cult and literally half the country is a collection of crazies willing to burn down the country.

Yes. Fortunately, it’s noticeably less than half. Closer to 1/3 by my reckoning.

I don't think you understand what it means when you dehumanize your opponents

Only actual humans form cults. The cult members are very much human. Their blind following of Trump is nothing to rejoice about. Their lack of clear thinking saddens me, and likely a great many others. It also puts the country at great risk, including those in the cult.

I haven’t dehumanized anyone here. Telling the truth and coming to logical conclusions from the facts is not a dehumanizing process.
