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.

Trump cult likes to make vile jokes and then gaslight people who call those jokes vile. It's a method of desensitizing people to the vileness in the jokes, whether it's racist humor, bigot humor, sexist humor.....


When I was a kid in the 1950s this was how a lot of racism was spread: asinine jokes, the whole point of which was to make African Americans seem stupid and inferior. As a kid I didn't get the real point of it, but those jokes had a way of spreading racism, something it took me a while to understand.

Now I cannot understand how good people, like most of the Republicans on this board, can possibly vote for a POS like Trump. It's all phony grievance and hatred stoked by right wing media and right wing politicians.
