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.

Yes, core constituencies. AWFLs.

The point goes far beyond the idiots on this particular jury: Sympathy With The Devil is a real thing now in left wing politics.

Luigi what's his name who killed the Healthcare CEO
Charlie Kirk's killer
Lindsay Clancy

...there's a growing contingent of liberals who are romanticizing their crimes. Almost uniformly these people are AWFL (Affluent White Female liberals).

For example?

Oh, let's see: Chicago, New York City, Detroit, LA in the late '60s and 70s. Seattle, San Francisco (to be fair, San Francisco is finally getting a clue), Portland.

Cities that are soft on crime generally get more crime. It's not debatable; you get what you allow. Blue cities allow crime by not enforcing their own laws. It's really as simple as that.

Riddle for you as an Arizona resident: Why don't you see tents, graffiti, needles and human feces on the sidewalks and parks in Scottsdale, Arizona?
