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.

In that case, would you be willing to let a Republican like De Santis have control of the Presidency, rather than the terrible Democratic candidate? Another Supreme Court appointment, all the federal judges, control over foreign policy, all of the executive orders and administrative decisions - four years (or eight years given the advantages of incumbency) that the American people have to live under a right-wing Republican, rather than the terrible Democrat?

Ok. I'll bite. If this democrat, with all the same personal flaws as Trump, had Biden's record of the last 4 years, them damn right I'd still vote for him! The point is not only that Trump is a self-serving grifting lying conman with no concern for anyone but himself. It's also, and primarily, that Trump's "policies" were terrible for the future of the country, and detrimental to world order as a whole.

The tragedy is that so many republicans actually think Trump's policies were good for them and will continue to be good for them if they elect him again.
