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.

Conservatives don't want ANYONE having control

Just my point of view, but today’s Republicans are NOT conservatives. Not even close.

The party of fiscal conservatism has created the vast majority of our deficits.

They do not respect our institutions.

They don’t believe in law and order having nominated, and supporting, a 34 count felon and adjudicated rapist to run for President of the United States (try wrapping you head around that).

They are armed insurrectionists.

Their family values are nominating a man to run for governor of North Carolina who likes to post really weird stuff on a porn site. And most Republicans continue to support him knowing this.

They want to use government to control women’s healthcare, what books you can read, what religion is represented in schools, what is taught in schools (like slavery had some good outcomes), who gets to vote, how voter suppression is applied, how private corporations apply HR policies, etc, etc, etc.

They block gun safety and prioritize ensuring that anyone can have a gun (except Hunter Biden) at the expense of our children’s lives.

I can think of lots and lots of adjectives to describe today’s Republicans, but conservative isn’t one of them.
