Lamp,

Again...I believe it was mail-in used used like they were that created the situation where they broke in.

If it had been a regular election (pre covid), I do not believe they would have actually gone so far as to break in. They would have been disappointed but without the mail-in ballots used as they were there would have been no reason to feel the election results may have been incorrect. I don't believe all the things people are claiming Jan 6 was attempting to accomphlish. It was a very bad mistake breaking in though.

People today are a lot more intense and angry than the Bush election.

If Trump wins are you sure liberals won't start riots?

Laura,

"You MAGA folks prove that statement of your's as a lie"

When Trump wins will you accept the results or will it be a lie?

It's the nature of conservatives to be less open with their views.

Their media skepticism and preference for privacy will skew statistics.

Did before and will again.

Trump voters are being undercounted.

Both 2016 and 2020 polls underestimated Trumps support.

You know that's happening again...right?

Yav,

Ok..forget the word socialism.

It's only a word.

To reference myself above I said,

"It covered healthcare, more government subsidized programs, gun control...
Bottomline expanding the government's control in our lives."

These are the policies I was referring I don't agree with. I can add more.

The border...if it wasn't for Republicans, Democrats wouldn't alter the course they put the US on the last 3 years so don't try to play, "who us??..we want to solve the border problem but Trump...trump...trump".

It's not black or white...I'm not totally opposed to government assistance or involvement. There must be a balance though and I haven't seen any indication Democrats understand that. With dems it's never enough.

Dems are taking America on a path to more and more individual dependence on the government and subsequently more power in the hands of the government.

Socialism is only a word.

Truth,

Long-term solutions generally create short-term issues to be dealt with.

I'm not saying I agree with all your points but you are correct there is short-term issues generally associated with long term solutions.

That's why people tend to avoid them looking to win elections.

Trump's tariffs were designed as part of a longer-term strategy to address trade imbalances and bring more manufacturing back to the US.

What happened was Covid hit and Trump had to shift priorities.

Tariffs were part of a long-term solution, unlike what usually comes out of DC, short-term solutions.

Hans,

Who took a picture of my truck?

Lamp,

I thought it was relevant.

I'm not convinced she has her priorities straight concerning Israel.

Hans,

"What's fun about plonking here on the Retort:
Yeah, you can no longer see the plonked person's posts.
But they can still see yours...
Which means that you can't see the plonked person's reply."

So how are you seeing someone's posts in the first place, if you have them plonked or even know they've posted?

Not very thought out attempt to look clever.

Personally, I just tell them I'm ignoring them.

Lamp,

"What do your high school history lessons tell you?"

Be leary of Jew haters?

Tony,

If you read my previous posts, you'd know I've critisized Trump for using bankrupcy as a business plan.

However, today at this point in time, Harris is not what I want in office.

Trump has ideas which I'd like to hear more about.

Harris...who the hell knows what she's planning...don't want to find out.

Lamp,

Ha-Ha...quoting Nelson Muntz.

I only finished 10th grade and joined the Navy when I turned 17.

Tony,

I started typing up a response but I'm not interested in discussing them point by point.

It covered healthcare, more government subsidized programs, gun control...

Bottomline expanding the government's control in our lives.

Truth,

There is the belief about Harris (she has tried dearly to hide), she is a far left Socialist hiding behind a mask (the media).

Truth,

The word "socialism" is interpretted differently person to person.

All Dems don't even agree what it means.

Unarguably though, most people will agree there are certain Democratic policies that are moving the country towards socialism.

Tony,

I think it might boil down to Trump supporters hate socialists.

Just like I'm voting for the party, not the man.

Carville once said "It's the economy, stupid".

To steal his meme...

It's socialism, stupid.
