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.

It doesn’t matter if Harris wins all the electoral votes and 60% of the popular votes.

Donald Trump is already declaring that the 2024 election will be illegitimate (unless he wins). The lawsuits are already being filed, the excuses are already being circulated, and it doesn’t matter how ridiculous they are because it’s not the excuses that MAGA ultimately believes, it’s the underlying premise for those excuses:

Here’s that premise:

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN NOVEMBER IS ILLEGITIMATE- BY DEFINITION.

This is the underlying assumption that Trump and his misfits have been carefully cultivating for the past nine years, but now they have a greater infrastructure to push the lie than they did in 2020

So buckle up, guys. It’s going to be a rough few months. The only solace is that there are more of us who are willing to defend our Republic than there are those who want to burn it down.

There is only one absolute certainty for this election:

Trump will declare himself the winner.
