Waltz family members are supporting Trump.

[Kathryn]

I wouldn't recognize my distant cousins.

This says a lot about Waltz.

And this says a lot about the direction of the Party in general:

Ex-Democratic 2020 Candidate Tulsi Gabbard Endorses Trump

Former Democratic lawmaker Tulsi Gabbard backed Donald Trump.

I believe that The Republican party will be the new Democratic Party.

If you are referring to the Democratic party of George Wallace you have a point and the 'Republican party is well on it's way there under Trump.
It sure ain't the party of Lincoln these days.

That photo of people wearing 'Nebraska Walz's for Trump' shirts? They're distant cousins

A sister of Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz says she doesn’t recognize the people wearing “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump” T-shirts in a photo that is making the rounds on social media.

Shows not all of them are drinking the Kool aid. They know the country is in dire straits.

I know I wouldn't have to go to the grandchildren of my grandfather's brother to find relatives who think differently than me -- especially in politics.

Isn't it wonderful to live in a place of such freedom?

Source? Opinion! Inflammatory, gaslighting, fake news



Inflammatory and fake. So, if someone doesn’t agree with you they are extremists? That is an extremist statement


Source? Take away children? Asylum from what?

Us “extremists” love immigrants. Love following the immigration laws.

You ought to look at this very sane understanding of immigration:

Bad news for you, without immigrants, there won't be anybody to take care of you in the future, without immigrants US population growth will go negative within about 15 years. Immigrants are the young workers we need to maintain our economy.

My family has a broad range of religions as well as political views. The family tradition is that children shall be raised to have their own minds.

 

[The Hammer]

I just find it strange that somebody who supposedly doesn't care is constantly writing posts about things they don't care about and then telling everyone they don't care.

It's a way of sharing an opinion without being held accountable.

Here was my take on things. Until a child graduated from high school, they had to go with me or SOMEONE to church on Sunday mornings. After that, they could choose whatever they wanted to do. They could also ask any questions they wanted to (as long as they did so respectfully) and they didn't have to convert or be baptised or anything like that.

As they got older, they morphed as I did. I now have an agnostic liberal, one that's non Trinitarian but more conservative than me, one that's definitely more conservative than me, and one that's a Christian but less conservative than me. So kind of across the board religiously and politically.

Church wasn't mandatory for us. However, we were encouraged to go with others if invited. (Be they pagan, Christian, or other.) Lots of books on various religions were also available to us as kids.

Bingo!

Oh I had tons of books available, and had a Koran, a Mormon bible, etc. I also lived in a very diverse neighborhood, which was very helpful.

 

[Kathryn]

Bingo!

Please.

Sorry, tried to read this but it was behind a paywall.

Both my parents were tory voters, thought they were Christians, ate meat and couldn't see the point in listening to music. They didn't have much influence on me...

I bet you're willing to call them the backwater people. ;0)

 

[Twilight Hue]

They're distant cousins who don't even recognize each other.

Still related and family.

 

[Twilight Hue]

All I know, KNOW, is that I was a lot better off under Trump. Meanwhile, I don't care what you or anyone else on this forum thinks of me to be completely honest, so no, I don't need to work harder to show a difference. I am a Republican for a reason, and it has nothing to do with racism or infringing on the rights of women. Believe it or not, I don't really care what you think.

There is no question a lot of people were a lot better off under Trump because every time the Democrat gets elected , things go to hell and everything they touch gets destroyed.

 

[Kathryn]

No, you DI int!

Hey, by the way, I didn't grow up calling my grandmother's brother's kids "distant cousins" but maybe they were.

 

[Kathryn]

And I didn't even vote for him!

 

[Spice]

Nope. Not at all. They're generally more "successful" than me which, IMO, puts blinders on them. No one sees the needs of their neighbors less than those comfortable and well fed.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I did as my stick of dynamite! I got much more than I bargained for.
