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.

David French suggested that Democrats’ progressive agenda could be alienating Hispanic voters who hold traditional values.

The Catholic Latino base is traditionally partiarchal; muy macho. Younger, educated latinos, not so much.

Evidence: In 2023 Mexico's Supreme Court threw out all federal criminal penalties for abortion Wednesday, ruling that national laws prohibiting the procedure are unconstitutional and violate women's rights in a sweeping decision that extended Latin American's trend of widening abortion access.

But... older, poorly educated Latinos in the US are just as susceptible to the right wing propaganda machine that misinforms MAGAs, reinforcing the macho/ perspectives.

It's not entirely unlike the socio-political sitch that exists among some black americans, as discussed in the linked NYT story. .
