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.

Don't even try to tell me "it can't happen here".


It's far fetched, but anything can happen here. I think all that info is wanted for voter suppression. What the normal scenario is, is that the GOP gets a law passed that requires something new to be a registered voter and within 3-6 months of the vote, or purges rolls so that more Dems will be unregistered. There's not enough time to get the word out and canvass the surrounding areas, so registrations or ID requirements for voting shut some people out. They deny it, but pretty much everyone knows this occurs. A couple of times the quiet part is said out loud, that the GOP benefits by less people voting. We benefit by more people voting. We need to get away from this type of action, but since the states are in charge of the voting, they can do this, we complain, but it seems nothing can be done about it.

They have people who analyze this and come up with esoteric ways to do this, so there's constantly a new way, and too much energy is devoted to this.
