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.

You folks abjectly refuse to understand the monsters you've been feeding all these years. I've said for a long time that sooner or later the beast you've been hiding in the basement - which is the base of your party - was going to start to be a real problem.

And now, here we are. "Goldie, Goldie, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide!" <-- there's your base right there.


A deep-in-the-cult Trumper lectures others on "the monsters you've been feeding all these years," forgetting that Orange Jesus dined with well-known white power leader, Holocaust denier, and antisemite Nicholas Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago and Ye, who routinely verbally attacked Jews on social media.

Now tell us o' great seer, what do you suppose that kind of endorsement and embrace from the leader of the republican party says to Jew-haters in America?

Then look to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who tweeted: "We cannot allow Soros, Steyer, and Bloomberg to BUY this election!"

Representatives Paul Gosar and Marjorie Taylor Greene have defended Fuentes and spoken at events organized by Fuentes’ America First Political Action Conference, which the Anti-Defamation League describes as a white supremacist gathering. Representative Tom Emmer accused Bloomberg, Soros and Steyer of having "bought" the democrats in Congress.

You guys are long past "hiding": you're flagrantly embracing antisemitic tropes and hatred.

And this suggestion that every protester at a Jewish-owned business is a "lefty" is equally absurd. Every lefty I knows has no interest in anyone else's religion or sexual orientation or race but every "righty" I know is plenty concerned about every aspect of the "others" lives.

You're projecting when you see "monsters" in the democratic base.

As usual, every republican accusation is a projection and a confession.
