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 Trump haters ...

I think it is much to simplistic to view those of us who protest Trump's actions as being "Trump haters," but perhaps you are a simplistic person. Frankly, what I hate is how low a bar we as a voting block have set for the choice of our country's leader. I want the ability to vote for a Patriot, as opposed to a politician or a self-serving narcissist and his entourage.

I don't blame Trump, frankly. He is who he is. I blame people who took advantage of his peculiarities and mental challenges in pursuit of their own gain, and those like you who could not be bothered to to set some basic minimum requirements, like at least some degree of honesty or shame wrt wrong doing, instead going for change at any cost. Hey, how about lack of felon status as a super low minimum? Change for the sake of change is not always a good thing.

I get really bored and completely unimpressed how the Trump supporters seem to feel that all they have to do is scream the imaginary talking points, (LOWERING THE DEFICIT AND BALANCING THE BUDGET IS ALWAYS A GREAT IDEA,) or simply proclaim that we are simply haters, rather than address the facts of what Trump is doing and the real reason why he is doing it. Strain your brain and try, seriously try to think through his platitudes that are designed to keep his followers in a nice straight line of support, platitudes that he has no intent of pursuing.

So bored in fact that its time to start using the tools on hand. You feel free to do the same.
