The whole post is credited to Heather Cox Richardson. Instead of doing your usual rubbish post here, you should consider looking for a commentator with equal gravitas and community standing who can refute her arguments competently. Sonhouse, the same applies to you: not a rant, just a sober statement, please.

Good luck with that.

The woman has the pulse of America in her hands.

Real America, not the demagogues.

I read first sentences above, could you square away in no uncertain terms how Donald Trump is going to destroy democracy. Not your opinion, but what he is going to do. You see the difference I hope. Then it will give us all of footing with which to follow reading your post.

One of these days, you might, just might, pull your head from your ass.

I keep waiting, but, good thing I'm not holding my breath.

Depends on Black playing c6 which is an idiot move in this context.

Hope so. How can people not see the real Trump.

Apparently you fools don't see the real Trump.

We see some doddering old fool who can't string two four-syllable words together, needs to drink a glass of water with two hands, has trouble navigating a long ramp, has fights with umbrellas when getting on an airplane, thinks Putin and Xi and Orban are his friends, has absolutely no idea what a fair election looks like, pays 130k hush money to a porn star to shut her up about their under-the-sheets adventures, threatens judges and their families for daring to prosecute him for crimes he committed, instructs his minions to attack the US Capitol where they are verifying ballots and slates of electors.

You see some lily-white innocent who is actually qualified to run for president.

How can YOU not see the real Trump?

Yes, you've been conned. But you are so embarrassed by this that you will never, not in a million years, admit it.

@fartacus said
So you're in favour of voter I.D. or something equivalent.

I agree.

Frankly, given your first question, I'm surprised you even know what that is.

@shavixmir said
They check your passport.

Oh. Wait. That’s Europe.

Yeah. We’re years ahead of you trailer trash types.

Yeah, see the trailer trash types here don't have passports.

They do have photo ID driver licenses, though.

@fartacus said
How do they verify your identity when voting? Any voters here willing to explain?

Are you that stupid? Have you never had to show your ID to anybody?

Come on, I am SURE you've been carded.

Just like that.

And before you ask, Einstein, they compare the signature you put on the outer envelope of your mail in ballot to the signature you used when you registered.

Do you live in Alabama? Seriously.

@averagejoe1 said
The only reason is that only citizens of a municipality or a state or a country should vote. Try this, little feller. If all of the citizens of Yazoo MS are voting on how to spend a surplus in the city budget next Tuesday, do you think that ANY PERSON FROM ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY, OR FROM ANY OTHER COUNTRY, should be allowed, or would be qualified, to vote on this matter?
Libs don't answer simple questions, but please answer this one?

They don't anyways, you dumb Yazoo.

@moonbus said
Did you read the article, Joe? Less than 100 cases of non-citizens who attempted to vote, compared to thousands of legitimate voters who would have been struck off the rolls by the proposed legislation which was supposed to correct the non-problem. The cure is worse than the disease.

Of course, non-citizens should not vote. Question answered.

The fact of the matter ...[text shortened]... y don't. It's a non-issue the Republican'ts have invented because their voter base is shrinking.

Which dovetails right into the idiotic Great Replacement Theory.

putrid lies my friend...is that all you know

now I got to get back watching as biden is getting us in another war as we speak

Still confused about what a lie is?

Trump's idiot comments are lies, as are your attempts to be like him.

Mentioning truth is not a lie, no matter what your Orange Jesus con man role model tells you.

Individuals within the gay pride movement are free to do as they please as long as they don't harm, impose on, or place others at risk without consent.

The actual definition of "leaving people alone".

AvJoe should try it.

@averagejoe1 said
What’s so bad about average Joe? Could it be that he thinks that some people need to leave other people alone? Could it be that he thinks that if some people work harder than others, that the ones that do not work hard should share in the wealth of the people that work harder than they do?
One of my favorite things on the forum is to ask the simplest questions I can think of, which liberals simply cannot answer. And that’s about all I’ve got to say about that.

He thinks some people need to leave each other alone, but he doesn't think HE needs to leave people alone. Where I come from they call that being a hypocrite.

Pride groups don't affect you in the slightest.

Not gay? Don't join.

Problem solved.

@averagejoe1 said
I’m a realist, I see it for what it is.
I also see you supporting the gay pride movement. Do you support any effect they may have on my children?

No, you don't. You see it as you want to see it.

You need to read my very clear post, next to your very unclear response, and try to respond in coherent wording to my post.

His post was a lot more coherent than yours.

You WOKE people, each of you, are ruining our country. You are weak and forever a mob.

As I said on another thread where you brought this up, Ever hear of the separation of church and state?

Church groups have no business being in a school.
