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.

albaby1: I imagine they don't believe he's a danger to our democracy.

Quoting Fred Derry: "Well, that's a hopeful way of putting it."

A simpler answer is that they're delusional.

A canvasser in Nevada this week asked Trump voters why they can’t vote for Kamala Harris and they said: “She’s not black.” When shown a photograph of her father, they said: “That’s not her father. I’ve seen the birth certificate.”

Others said that the January 6 attack on the Capitol “was actually the Democrats.”

Others repeated Trump's frequent claim: “She will create a Great Depression.” When shown the Goldman Sachs analysis that the U.S. economy would be better under Harris than Trump -- or reminded that the stock markets keep reaching new all-time highs -- they dismiss the data and stellar market performance as lies.

A shocking number of American voters simply have lost touch with reality.
