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.

Ges,

Like many of your Leftie Loony comrades here, the only way you seem to know how to try to make a point is by extreme exaggeration or hyperbole.

Now, it's not clear to me if this is just an affectation you guys have due to this being the internet, or that you think it actually improves your argument, or you are truly unaware that you are injecting your own psychological issues and insecurities into a political debate.

You could have simply said you believe Lindsey Graham is a Trump sycophant.

Sycophant--you can look up the definition.

Instead of making that plausibly correct argument, you go over the top and bring up "he might be gay" (totally irrelevant, implied homophobia on your part); then you call him a "school girl with a crush" (totally misogynistic--attributing weakness to the FEMALE, underage person. He's not female and he's an adult).

Over the top emotional tirades may make you feel better as a tension release, or may make you feel you are "one of us" in terms of being a card carrying Leftist, but it won't persuade anyone.
