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.

So you don’t believe anything is fundamentally changing, and that Trump and his regime won’t do the kinds of things they’re promising to do? The direct assault on habeas corpus and judicial review isn’t a prelude to an imperial presidency? Elections will solve this present assault on our constitutional order?

Elections are the best option to address the present assault on our constitutional order. Certainly a much better option than voting down the CR. Win back power, undermine the popularity of the current administration, get control of the House again.

Interrupting the President's speech, holding up silly little signs - and voting down the CR - don't do anything to slow the "present assault on our constitutional order." Again, voting down the CR makes it worse, since the office of the President gets more power if there's no appropriations and we go into shutdown.
