The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Well, partially right - and that is a huge improvement.

Just as this writer suggested letting Liberals be Liberals and letting them suffer the consequences, Agent Wool Sweater is now advocating the dosage for the MAGA crowd --- in that the opposition should warn - but then get out the way and let it happen and let the public see for thsemvles.

VERY VALID. I LIKE IT - from a strategy point of view. The trouble is, Wool Sweater is only half right, and Wool Sweat *still* doesn't understand that victory isn't winning but rather, it's winning the right to GOVERN and having some form of consensus around you - versus an ungovernable SheeplTribal State.

I'll write more on this later but the FurryOne jumpstarted me a bit. Simply put: DOES MAGA WANT A GOVERNING MAJORITY, OR NOT? One that lasts more than 5 minutes?

If so, look at Sheeple: Sheeple did NOT compromise on things like immigration and trade and inflation and guess what? Sheeple learned the hard way that voters - can change sides. Will WE do the same thing on MAGA and the Right?

Simple put
***********

Paid Medical or Family Leave. ObamaCare. Prescription drug pricing. Abortion -leaving *some* choice on the table.

The public, even the RED public has spoken on these issues and if we go against that due to our orthodoxy - then we will suffer the same fate of Smug Sheeple and Kamala.

We have a chance for a true decade+ of governance.....I. fear we will squander it.
