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.

Even if this is true…then work to get them ID.

But you don’t. Paternalistic racist liberals think that minorities are too stupid to k ow they need ID.


Oh no. It's as simple as watching the purge of the voting roster for felons with a lot of people being ejected for having the last name of Washington. A new law that doesn't allow previously acceptable ID, such as library cards, or requiring pictures on the ID, or that the perosn making minimum wage travel 200 miles and pay $50 for a birth certificate, and another $50 for the ID and the office is only open during work time.

Finding out that you've been purged from the voter rolls due to a new Republican strategy must upset people. And we can't keep up with all your strategies. There's an awful lot of hugely wasted effort devoted to suppressing the vote, and our courts are cluttered with voting cases. It's a complete waste, but it does keep Republicans in power, so it is useful to them.

If Trump loses the Presidency, will there be a Republican party?
