US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Forever. Not a long time. Forever.

Because I doubt Democrats will ever bring themselves to nominate a person as morally-reprehensible as Trump, whereas the GOP always will, every time, after this win.

Explain to me why they wouldn’t.

But that’s the Dems’ fault.

:) I didn't say that. But I can understand why you thought I did.
 
I think they are all mouth no trousers

I don’t think they expected to win and now they have they are like “phew and also can’t be arsed with all the continuing agro”

In a way Trump has been found out. Found out by voters. Time to put up or shut the the fuck up. He has been given this massive mandate I don’t think they were expecting. Its focusing minds.

It's clear from all the cheating posturing that Trump wasn't expecting it.
 
The term “barriers to entry” is common here and, while I can see where you’re going, I’m merely referring to the reality in the ground here. I live in an executive bedroom community which is the first stop on the Express train in the city. The towns along that rail line are all expensive Chicago bedroom communities, and are generally white.
My children went to the Catholic School 1 block from my house, which is on a 24 acre park. There was (maybe) 1 or possibly 2 non-white children who attended that school. We took them out of Catholic School for High School, because they needed a more diverse understanding of reality, which meant going to the school in the Hispanic community. While it was great for my son’s Spanish, and they had a great soccer team, they were also bringing home tales of gang fights in the hallways and after school, with the girls often being worse than the boys. Needless to say, it was an eye-opening experience for them.

Long before we ever moved there, the town (Rolling Meadows) was nicknamed Rolling Ghettos for the numerous multi-family dwellings that had drug and gang issues, and a large number of smaller, more affordable, bungalow style homes on small lots.

I didn’t draw the boundaries or play the property sizes, I’m merely reporting the reality of life in my particular corner of suburban America.

Fair enough. To a Brit it sounded .... Well, you know. Anyway, I didn't think that was what you meant. You always seem grounded, if a little passionate sometimes. And I can also understand why that would be.

Haha. Just read that again. Grounded not really appropriate for you (because you are a pilot before I stoke a fire again). :)
