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.

LurkerMom: Per the article,

“Two-thirds (About 67%) of young Americans between the ages of 18-24 believe that Jews as a class are oppressors and should be treated as oppressors, according to a new poll conducted by Harris Insights and Analytics and Harvard University's Center for American Political Studies (CAPS).”

I would call them, ‘blue, progressives and woke.
They certainly are not among the conservative class.

You can call them whatever you want to call them but the survey doesn't identify the politics of any of the 18-24-year-olds, so you're lying too.

And if you think conservatives are not antisemites, it's just another of your delusions.

1. The student leader of the College Republicans chapter at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse resigned from her post this week after group members scrawled an antisemitic message on a campus sidewalk and promoted it on social media.

Gee, Wisconsin.

2. The Harford County chapter of the Maryland Young Republicans was dissolved late Thursday night after chapter leadership allegedly distributed an anti-Semitic email to its listserve.

3. The Young Republicans of New Jersey was warned today by senior state Republican officials to "clean house" on Young Republicans "preaching racism and religious intolerance."

4. We conduct several experiments on an original survey of 3500 U.S. adults, including an oversample of young adults. We oversampled young adults because unlike other forms of prejudice that are more common among older people, antisemitism is theorized to be more common among younger people. Contrary to the expectation of horseshoe theory, the data show the epicenter of antisemitic attitudes is young adults on the far right.

5. Top New Jersey Republican party officials promised an investigation today into charges that members of the state’s Young Republican party sang anti-Semitic and racist songs at a state convention and at a national convention... the lyrics sung at the two gatherings were: "Riding through the Reich in a Mercedes-Benz; Shooting all the kikes, making lots of friends; Rat tat-tat-tat-tat, mow the bastards down; Oh what fun it is to have the Nazis back in town."

Delusional.
