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.

I may vehemently disagree with everything about him, but if he respects the democratic process, than I have to accept his hypothetical victory. Because I respect it, too. The process is more important than any issue.

I think you misunderstand my question. It's not respecting his "hypothetical" victory. You have a magic button that goes back in time and picks who will have won the 2016 election - either a corrupt Democrat or Ron DeSantis. The button doesn't overturn the 2016 election - the button changes who really won the election, either a corrupt Democrat or DeSantis.

The composition of SCOTUS hangs in the balance - assume that DeSantis would have picked the same justice nominees that Trump ended up picking, and that the corrupt Democrat would pick solidly liberal choices.

Do you push the button?
