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.

'Doesn't matter who runs against Biden. With Biden's horrific record of destroying America, even an unknown Joe Blow down the street would win.'

This is an echo chamber viewpoint. Trump has a lock on 35-40% of republicans. This mostly white and over 55 constituency is shrinking by about 2% of the electorate with each election cycle.

Another 15-20 million ethnically ambiguous and gender confused youth will be turning out for the first time only to be confronted with a Republican Party that says things that don't jive with their experience of the world. When republicans speak, gen z lift their heads and say 'okay boomer' and return to their phones.

In 2020, Biden beat Trump by over 40 points among gen z voters. The hearing of young people is better than 'the olds' (as our son calls us), and they are not receptive to the hateful dog whistling of many republican hopefuls.
