Wild Fires In LA

I don't hate them. I don't think I should be forced to endorse their lifestyle. Nor allow them to play in women's sports. Do we see women trying to "transition" to men's sports so they can do what? They can deal with it on their own. Again, your delusional nature is showing. What next? Do we have to make special provisions for one-legged furries with an enema fetish?

The Democrats supported some rights they have as people, and then we ignored them - the RW were the ones publishing constant photos and news about TRans to make it seem like they were a threat.

The election for POTUS hinges upon which party can win the majority of the moderate/independent voters. The low-commitment voters. That's where the Dems failed in the 2024.

POTUS
House of Representatives
Senate

Biden will go down in history as a 1-term POTUS. He could have been generous to Harris by resigning-for-cause, thereby providing her with the ultimate in unearned DEI promotions, but he chose not to. Apparently he hates women.

Trump did not amass his influence alone. The path was set from years of RW media hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and his clones at FOX and more extreme versions such as Alex Jones. I listened to Rush for years due to a trainer at my old barn constantly playing him, and I learned a lot - yes he was smart and informed, and some of his views even made sense

But he wrote the playbook that Trump and the rest followed - mixing a kernel of truth with falsehoods, spreading disinformation and comprise theories, mocking anyone who disagreed, making a comeback "what aboutism" instead of taking accountability.

Thus the base was primed for the same kind of distorted version of reality that Trump embraced. The followers never questioned whether people like Rush or the mouths at FFOX actually believed what they said or said half-truths and spread falsehood for $ and power.

When FOX was sued and paid about 750 million for their false dominion voting crap, their media mouths admitted they knew it was false.

Someone wrote a book about this and they traced the rise in political polarization back to Newt Gingrich. "In 1984, Newt Gingrich, Republican from Georgia, a backbencher in the U.S. House of Representatives, wasn’t getting the attention of his party’s leadership. But he had an idea. ... at the end of every day, Gingrich took to the floor of Congress not to propose legislation, but to accuse Democrats of corruption in front of the C-SPAN cameras. Sometimes he attacked fellow legislators by name and asked them to respond.
During one such speech, Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill insisted that the camera pointed at the podium pan the deserted chamber. Gingrich seized the moment to argue the speaker was violating the rules, calling it further proof the Democrats were corrupt. After O’Neill responded a few days later in a speech of his own, Republicans said the speaker was out of order and had his remarks stricken from the record.

No legislation was passed, but Gingrich got what he wanted: All the major TV networks were covering his dispute with O’Neill.

...the C-SPAN story exemplifies how Gingrich practiced politics: whipping up enough confrontation to turn any disagreement into “a national story, because Gingrich believed that’s how the media operated. The more conflict he gave them, the more attention he got.”

You are forced to approve it and pay tax dollars to support it. Why should my tax dollars be used by the fire department to have a gay parade or support trans issues including women's sports. They are ruining women's sports. Those are tax dollars. Not my choice. DEI has no place in taxpayer supported things.

The Democratic Party wrt Biden running again had a place in this travesty of getting Trump elected. Harris should not have been the candidate.

Far from a popular mandate, a number of independents and others voted for Trump because they did not trust Harris, and she was too aligned with Biden and his unpopular reign.

I believe that if the Democrats had Mark Kelley as the candidate we might have won

History has seen other great onions nations enter a decline, and this is America's turn, and the Democrats had a hand in it. Fate playing out -

Why are taxpayers supporting women and men's sports?
