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.

But in reality, stuff like this happens:

And this:

A dozen Republican White House lawyers who served in the administrations of then-Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush are endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris in her race against GOP nominee former President Donald Trump.

"We endorse Kamala Harris and support her election as President because we believe that returning former President Trump to office would threaten American democracy and undermine the rule of law in our country," the lawyers wrote in a letter that the signatories shared first with Fox News Digital.

The signatories added that "we urge all patriotic Republicans, former Republicans, conservative and center-right citizens, and independent voters to place love of country above party and ideology and join us in supporting Kamala Harris."

Or six Republicans speaking at the DNC in favor of the Harris/Walz ticket. Namely:

Stephanie Grisham - White House Press Secretary (2019-2020)
Ana Navarro - Political commentator/talk show host
John Giles - Mayor of Mesa, Arizona (2014-present)
Olivia Troye - Former Trump administration official
Geoff Duncan - Lieutenant Governor of Georgia (2019-2023)
Adam Kinzinger - U.S. Representative from Illinois (2011-2023)

And that's just the ones I know of off the top of my head.

Is there going to be a Democrat or two going the other way and supporting Trump? Probably. Apparently there is one now. But it's an entire flood of Republicans either refusing to endorse Trump or outright endorsing Harris. You can't create an equivalency here, in spite of what you may think. It's failed every other time you and the rest of the cult try it, and it fails this time, too.

Trump is singularly unfit to hold any office, let alone the highest office in the land.
