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.

Trump has gotten the left to support
-Illegal aliens who prey on US citizens
-Criminals in general
-Wasteful and fraudulent spending
-The WEF morons and their climate hoax cabal
-The US being dependent on others for energy, especially China
-Lawfare against US citizens

Right wing media has seduced you into believing those things. They are a false portrayal, but you buy into that false portrayal hook, line and sinker.


I didn't read the OP you are quoting. But, assuming the context is straightforward, I completely agree. The RW propaganda machine has sucked a lot of folks in. I'm also assuming the OP meant the negation (i.e. I do NOT support criminals in general, but it is written to say that the Felon got me to support them).

Long before the Felon hit the scene, I did NOT support:
anyone who preyed on US citizens
criminals in general
waste or fraud (with the caveat that I favor addressing the bigger budget problem before worrying about trivial items)

The other stuff isn't valid. The climate is a real thing, as the science is telling us. You're never going to get tens of thousands of scientists (maybe more?) worldwide to agree to support a hoax. We are NOT dependent on China for energy (perhaps they were thinking of lithium for batteries??). We have been a net exporter of energy for years (in fact, the Felon can probably take credit for that...it's been since 2019). Etc.

People really need better sources of information. Otherwise, our democracy will fail.
