Why do a poll? It’s incumbent on all of us to ask republicans this question in person. Any chance you get.

@BigJesusTrashcan

Criticism of EITHER country’s behavior and/or treatment of its neighbors is REQUIRED.

There are 3,143 counties in the US. I keep waiting for our journalism to do a story about how each county is broken down into small precincts to distribute and collect votes and how INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE it would be to “rig” an election.

If you want to argue facts with a Trump supporter, good luck. If you want to drive them absolutely up a wall, tell them you won’t be voting for him because he wears diapers and smells bad. Keep hammering on that point and nothing else. Argue calmly with things like “everyone knows he wears diapers” or “look... if you want a president that smells bad, go for it, but no other president in this country’s history has ever smelled that bad. That’s a fact!” Try it. The reaction is priceless.

I’m unaware of any democracy that came about in the absence of violence; either by an oppressor or by the oppressed. Kvetching about the many ways an unlikely Trump presidency will result in a fascist nightmare is foolish. If one truly believes in such a possibility, then the only concern should be the kind of violence one is prepared to commit in the defense of the democracy.

So, in my wise old age I’ve found that 9 times out of 10 my ugly, most awful fears about the future never actually happen. And if any of this frightful stuff does happen, there are plenty of allies that will come out swinging. Count on it.

@angiebaby

I was thinking the stumbling block may be the continued expectation of the white Jesus to deliver them from Pharaoh.

that was back in the days when the phone company was a monopoly. Now, in our glorious future, free markets and competition have made phone companies so much better. 😒

@Mrfunkedude

As long as the who isn’t me and the what isn’t my butt (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I’m cool. 😎

Jesus murder someone? 😲 Jesus would be turning in his grave if he read this. Oh...wait...

@Eetschrijver

I was thinking he had that many toes to count so high. Your theory probably makes more sense.

@GottaLaff

Once, at a post office in Tulsa, I got in a tussle with a bulky letter that defied my efforts to affix the proper postage. A firm defense with my trusty AR would have insured that letter reached its proper destination! Finally a sane decision for self defense!

@Eetschrijver

Wow! A zillion miles away? That’s really far, huh?🤔

@jeffowski

I’m not a religion guy and I don’t use the Bible as a means for proving anything, but for the record Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is “at hand”.

What’s needed in the runup to the 2024 election is simple explanatory journalism along with some remedial civics education. So here are quick summaries of the stories I would assign if I were in charge. presswatchers.org/2023/12/here

On its face, the notion that Trump has presidential immunity is just dumb. Silly. Buffoonery. And yet, five days since the hearing his lawyer argued such nonsense, MSNBC is STILL...STILL! hyperventilating over it! Just put it to bed!! Trump is a clown and says stupid things to get the EXACT response he’s getting. And MSNBC (and many others) habitually beat his dead horses for days at a time thus providing him the media attention he craves. After 7 years of Trumps buffoonery has no one learned?
