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.

I hesr talk about crazy Mullahs and crazy Ayotollahs.

Frankly it's embarrassing because -- if I support MAGA, it seems I am no different than the Religious Extremist Mullahs we call nut-jobs.

I want women who were raped to be forced to have the baby.

I want women's menstrual cycles to be tracked by Mullah designees

I am ok with conspiracy based teachings in some states and subject matters.

I am *proud* not just to rebuke science that i deem to be compromised....with my OWN brand of opposition that is also hardly foolproof and in the meantime, i see kids die of things like measles.

While i'm forcing a Mom to have a rape baby, I'm too busy cheering on billions to kiss Israel's ass and bomb people----but i don't have the money to educate or care for that baby that i forced to be born because, well, I love "Gods" children.

I see my voters. My friends. People i vote WITH getting less qualified, less healthy, more stupid, more ignorant, poorer and i love it.....it makes them easier to control.

When I see on a weekly basis people getting shot up and killed in mass violence events, my reaction is 100% uncompromising defense of warlike weapons. I can't be told ---hey, self defense and hunting stuff is fine - but warlike weapons doesn't fall under a Well Regulated Militia. At that point i'll retreat to extremes --- "you'll take my gun over my dead body" ----my Mullahs love extremes.

In 2025 I certainly lean in favor of MAGA.

But if i call myself out, fair and square---this means i have MORE in common with the Iranian Mullahs than the average American does. These days I feel the Mullahs and Talibanis---IF they had the accent and skin color of an American - have a better chance of winning primaries in my party than someone who might have the audacity to want some compromise, or someone who might want to excoriate the conspiracy theorists masquerading as doctors and experts.

Not a proud time to fly my political flag - speaking just for myself.
