    I said none of what you are asking. It’s not a hard concept.

     

    red areas are generally rural, and have a low population density. Additionally they usually have large land owners who both think they should be in charge of everything because they own land and are used to telling people what to do. So they don’t want to count votes from the  people the boss around (or worse year from those blue “dots’. This is an aristocrat streak in red states that is being used by authoritarians. Think the OG civil war where rich plantation owners convinced poor white to fight and die so the rich could keep blacks slaves and maintain the poor whites place just above those slaves.

    Fallacy. Now go check its definition against your past arguments. 


    Why? Because Trump rented out a McDonalds for 15 minutes? 
     

     

    Im a little peeved that he praised Hitler and his generals and you still seem firmly attached to his rectum, but that’s a you problem.

    'The House With Nobody In it' - In Washington D.C.?

    by Laurence Kadish

     

    "The House with Nobody In It" by Joyce Kilmers (1886-1918), brings to mind a certain house in Washington, D.C. -- the White House.

     

    Our White House is not just a residence, it is a command post. The Free World depends on it. If there is no apparent occupant, how will the U.S. contend with threats to our allies and us?

     

    China, Russia, Iran and North Korea are "the new 'Axis of Evil,'" according to Politico, hardly a right-wing outlet.

     

    How worried should we be? Probably very.

     

    The United States is already facing two wars at full tilt, and another, it seems, on the way.

    1/20/25 can't come soon enough.  Can we move it up to 11/6/24?  What a mess.

    25% of Americans support it.  Why?

    My guess is that they support authoritarians that they believe will take their side on issues.  Also, as demographics change, they believe winning elections for far right politicians becomes very difficult.

    Thoughts?
