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.

Unless of course you think that population is totally logically in their views?

Its a distinction in quantity, both in the amount of nonsense believed, and the number of people who believe the nonsense.

I’d get into “quality” as well, but that’s a more subjective measure, and there’s no sense getting bogged down in that. There are still large numbers of people who believe that Obama was born in Kenya, Trump won the 2020 election, Democrats run a pedophilia ring, and Ray Epps was an FBI plant on J6, and that’s some high quality nonsense right there, and Democrats can’t come close to that level of self-delusion.

Yes, there are Democrats who believe nonsense as well. But that brings us back to that “quantity” thing. There are fewer delusions and fewer Democrats who believe them.

For all of their faults, most Democrats have a keener appreciation for facts in the real world.
