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.

I know, and the answer is “part way”. We still have a few institutions capable of resisting, including a tiny few elements of the judicial, but otherwise we’re on the often invoked “slippery slope” and on our way.

But fear not. Sometimes fascist regimes return to democracy. Of course sometimes it requires losing a war (Germany, Italy) or a coup (Greece, Portugal), or the death of the head fascist (Spain) and it usually only takes between 20 and 50 years (when it does happen, which is not always), so look up. There are brighter days ahead.
