BOTH SIDES BOTH SIDES BOTH SIDES!!!! |

You might want to ask the question, what did we do to drive the majority of voters to overwhelmingly elect someone who has all the traits you think of Donald. What drove the popular vote to come out overwhelmingly for a felon? How bad were the Democrats to force that to happen?
If you’re wondering "what happened" you need to look in the mirror. |
| My personal favorite about Trump is that he likely paid for an abortion or more but is credited with saving aborted children. It's all fake. I tell my sons that politicians are sleazy and there are better people in the world to look up to. |
You are right about some people just being hateful. But there is nothing you can do about those people. However there are others who are just fed up. And the proof of that is Obama's easy election. Romney was a moderate Republican and he still lost to Obama. Why is that? People want change. There are fed up people who voted for Trump. You cannot pretend that everyone who voted for Trump likes the guy. |

I saw a great segment awhile back on MSNBC about how young men feel so lost. It is engrained in them to be the protector and provider. Women no longer want that from them, and rightfully so. But now they don’t know their place in society.
And so they turn to social media and the internet. They can so very quickly get sent into an algorithm that is beyond terrifying. My sister demonstrated this for her son, saving TikToks along the way to show him all at once how a simple search for “Trump vs Harris” turned into far right propaganda. When my son was in middle school, he got into the “Male rights” propaganda. He was a Boy Scout and it started when he searched the topic of letting girls into Boy Scouts. Once I realized it, we had a great conversation. Then we watched On the Basis of Sex, which had a profound impact on him. I think Gen Z is about to get a giant lesson in getting news from social media. They refused to vote democrat because of Gaza. Now they will see Trump wipe Gaza off the map entirely. I hope this is a turning point for them. |
I hope to Got your son has a strong father in his life. |

I did not tell my sons anything because they are busy building their lives for themselves to become great.
I taught self-reliance early on, to not depend upon the govt to give you preferential treatment or handouts. They have learned they are responsible for their actions, not the govt. Some Democrats may want to scream at them, “You got all that extra White privilege now your man won, I hope you choke on it!” But they have been taught to rise above the crawling cockroaches of the earth and go about your business. |
Sounds like they're too busy to talk to you more than a couple times a year lololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoolololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololoololololololololololololololo |
If you announce your pronouns you're transphobic. Don't announce your pronouns. This is all that LatinX BS all over again. Ask me how I know. |
| The biggest problem facing the United States is toxic masculinity. |
Whether a child has a strong father or no father they need to grow up respecting that they are not entitled to grab another human being. |

These things have always been okay. Trump is literally nothing new. He may be saying the quiet part loud, but the reason Trump was elected is that these things have always been the way we do things here.
He changes literally nothing. That's the whole point. He wants to "make America great again" by returning to the way things have always been. |
And Trump sows discord and chaos. His policies benefit the rich and increase the national debt. So if you mean what you say, voting against him is the obvious choice. |
Dream on. It's been a long ugly fight for decades for certain groups to get some basic rights. An election setback does not interfere with that long long battle. |
