Imagine that…the Mexicans have enabled the invasion
Of course Mexico will start detering migrants. They're concerned about much more than just tariffs. They don't want to be stuck with all those Central and South Americans who won't have such an easy time passing on to the USA.
Linda must have missed the fact that Biden was +12 with women four years ago but Harris was only +8 with women this week.
That’s a great thread and some of it is about being friends even if we disagree. The tide may be starting to turn back.
Very possible. At the same time how does one account for DeGrasse-Tyson now believing there are more than 2 genders/a gender spectrum?
Societal pressure on a man that wants to be liked and respected, not vilified.
White women learned that they are not part of the victim left, they are looked at as oppressors.
I also know some left leaning white women, who now have young sons, and have seen how the left targets them with hate.
IOW intellectual intelligence does not necessarily equate to emotional intelligence or peer pressure.
It’s ridiculous . Pay careful attention to who wants to import Gazans to Europe and America. They are the ones that caused this behavior in Europe
I’ve seen some very bright people support some very stupid things in recent years. All in the name of compassion, not science.
See the COVID response and liberals being unable to speak out against men in women’s spaces as examples.
As a poll worker, the only voter who I saw wear Trump or Harris garb was a woman on the younger side with a "Women for Trump" tee shirt. Also, women who are pro-life tend to be more publicly invested then men.
These sanctuary states have essentially seceded from the Union. Trump only lost Illinois by 5 points. Parts of Chicago went red. If Jabba knows what’s best for his political future, he will back down quickly.
It’s true. I’ve seen some very book smart people be very dumb when it comes to practical life matters. And yes. Some like you say do it in the name of compassion. I believe others can also do it out of fear of being ostracized by more radical peers. Who wants to lose their way of earning a living?
How Train, Jeff, and Rill couldn’t support Trump as Rs is beyond me. The changes in the first 72 hours are remarkable.
The heroes are the ones that were willing to vote out the problems and those that were willing to round up those that wanted change to register and turn them out. Positive change is coming because of these people.
I was really sick the day I voted and had no business being in a line of people. There was no way I would sit it out.

Let's see:
- I will be relying on ACA for health insurance from 3/25 - 10/27. Now, I am good for 2025 and I will pay about $18,000/year to cover my wife and myself. Trump wants to eviscerate ACA. So should I be thrilled that I may not be able to get health insurance for a year and a half? If ACA is still in existence, I will likely pay between $40,000 - $50,000/year for insurance. Should I be happy about that as well?
- Trump is pushing to make Medicare Advantage the default program for Medicare. Should I be thrilled that if I get very sick, I may not have access to health care? There are countless horror stories of people in Advantage plans that are not getting the care they need and can't switch back because traditional Medicare is too expensive at that point.
Why don't we wait and see what happens before definitely stating this.
Unless they are lying, they are already stating what they are planning to do. Now there might be too much of a backlash and
it will not pass, but it is clear in the article the intention is to severely degrade the most important provision of the ACA.
Fortunately, my wife and I are relatively healthy and do not have chronic conditions but by just being older, the premium costs
will skyrocket. I am luckier than most in that I can afford to pay two years of sky high premiums but I won't be happy about it.
Honestly, from a pragmatic perspective, this is my biggest concern with Trump. Good health insurance is very important to me.

Whine, whine, whine - a typical RICH Democrat who wants a handout. The reality is Trump saved ACA as he has detailed many times. I've never once heard him say he will eliminate it so quit lying Jeff.
As usual, childless cat-lady Jeff is all about ME, ME, ME. Never mind national security, world peace, a humming stock market which will ease your retirement, and secure borders. Awfully short-sighted of you Jeff to retire without calculating the odds of a Trump VICTORY!! MAGA.
Out of his mouth from CNN. I doubt your costs go down, but it surely can be made more efficient like everything else in government.
I don't care about the handouts, I just want good insurance to be available including traditional Medicare. You may not realize it, but you will be old someday as well and this will be a reality for you as well.
Your (and mine) health care costs are going up regardless of who's in office. That's the unavoidable result of high inflation caused by reckless spending - which you quite possibly never benefited from anyway. As much as anyone can, I can guarantee you your insurance cost isn't going to $40k to $50k per year.
As for Medicare Advantage, a majority of those on Medicare are choosing this option now.
