No they don't. Lots of (D)s, and even the occasional (I) like Bernie Sanders, are less authoritarian than pretty much every single (R) is these days.

If they want less authoritarianism, yes!

Or better yet, somebody who calls themselves "socialist" or "progressive," because at least they tend to be decent on civil rights, if not necessarily stuff like economic policy. It's ridiculous, but Bernie Sanders is one of the most actually-libertarian people in Congress.

If some of the "progressives" could give up on some of their overly-bureaucratic ideas with excessive means-testing (like welfare instead of UBI, "affordable" [i.e. "subsidized"] housing instead of zoning reform to reduce costs, etc.) they'd be perfect actual-libertarian candidates.

Or better yet, skip threatening and act against them.

Don't forget COVID.

Trump didn't have millions of people killed.

Yet.

Remember, the Nazis tried deporting all their unwanted minorities first, too. That's why the gas chambers were "the final solution," not just "the solution." Trump still has plenty of time to match or exceed Hitler, if we let him.

The difference is that Iran doesn't even make the top 10 list of reasons Trump deserves hate.

(Okay, okay, I might be exaggerating... maybe it's, like, #8 or so.)

In your previous comment it sounded like you had discussed it beforehand, so your mom would've known the gesture wasn't meant for her and thus wouldn't smack you.

LOL at the Family Feud extended metaphor, though!

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Tuesday that his department would redirect $1.73 billion in Biden-era grants away from establishing “DEI bike lanes” to build roads and bridges instead.

So, what exactly is a “DEI bike lane?”

The Daily Wire pointed to former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s claim that a series of 2021 grants funding bike lanes would serve to “improve infrastructure, strengthen supply chains, make us safer, advance equity, and combat climate change.”

Upon hearing “equity,” President Donald Trump’s goons can’t help but get triggered into attacking any federal spending that won’t benefit them directly. In reality, those Biden-era grants directed funds to build a new transit center in North Carolina, replace bridges in New Mexico, extend streets in New Hampshire, install traffic lights and crosswalks in Missouri, and install bike lanes in Seattle, among other projects. Now the financial status of these projects is unclear.

They are tracking everyone on the Internet who visits third-party sites that have their tracking pixels even if they have never directly interacted with TikTok itself in any way whatsoever. Even if you have never installed their app and never clicked a link to a TikTok video, they are still trying to track you anyway.

This has been explained to you several times already. You're the one who needs to do some reading -- and more importantly, comprehending!

A new big-data analysis of the U.S. pinpoints how urban design aids the health of city residents—especially when cities provide walking opportunities, greenery and mixed-use streets with a blend of commercial and residential activity.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
