    Possibly. This event was unchartered territory. Trump was going by what the "experts" advised him, such as Fauci.

    You do love to discuss Trump on every thread.

    The majority of Americans are for that, as it just goes to the states. The court is doing the right thing. Yiu are not moderate, you simply believe that as most people believe of themselves. Most people of all political sides of all ages have no issues with gay people.

    regardless, that’s not even what I was referencing. Across the board culture is turning to the right and the left is alrdy adapting and turning more right wing themselves, this is a good thing.

    That's so true. Today's conservatives (Progressives) think it's still 1969, bless 'em.

    16 - 21 year olds aren't buying the Progressive BS. It's a failed experiment perpetrated by old white elites.

    Exactly, the pandemic is a leftist failure. Most of the deaths are in leftist areas, even in red states.

    What if I told you that Liberals/Conservatives each have one piece of the solution? You're absolutely right that their pro-profit status allows them to price gouge and raise prices. And conservatives are right that government-loans have helped contribute to the problem. So the solution is to take one of each: Take away the pro-profit status of all major universities, and on the other hand take away the student loans.

    If we implement both solutions at once, we'll cripple the student loan industry and bring power back to the people.

    And what about those lockdowns, closed schools and masks did libos disagree with? They still want them.

    I see libos still wearing masks at Planet Fitness while using cardio machines! Idiots!

    Trump's lockdown was 2 months not 2 years.

    And talking about the dead? More died from Covid in 2021 than 2020.

    But hey it all worked. Biden got elected and our economy is half ruined. We are going green while the rest of the world does not.:banana:

    Nah, more people are ditching Trump. Most of those Republicans may as well be democrats. Larry Hogan, etc.
    Culture is progressing beyond tribalism, that's a good thing.

    Green Energy really isn't green. Further, it really isn't helping.

    So did the business owners that took billions in aid, subsidies and relief. We seem to want to throw money at wealthy people while everyone else suffers.

    College should be low or no cost anyway.

    That age group supports the LGBT community, they support environmental causes, they support narrowing the income gap, they support public healthcare, they don’t support discrimination in school or the workplace — how exactly do you come to the conclusion they are not progressive?

    100% this is what needs to happen.
    I haven’t seen many conservatives pushing to end the for-profit status of universities however.

    So you are saying we should continue the emergency 2020 COVID spending or it should never have been spent in the first place?

    It is progressing beyond tribalism and it’s due to republicans, like Trump and that’s why he is more popular despite your incorrect claim otherwise,

    Why shouldn't tax payers get to choose a religious school? What about reparations for those that worked their way through college with no debt?

    I'm trying to figure out YOUR point from you post, please answer

    You are trying to excuse Bidenflation by trying to justify it with the 2020 COVID emergency spending.

    So you are saying we should continue the emergency 2020 COVID emergency spending or it should never have been spent in the first place?

    So you are saying the emergency 2020 COVID emergency spending should never have been spent in the first place?

    And BTW inflation didn't happen with that spending, we recovered and the economy was just fine, it was the additional unnecessary Biden COVID spending and paying people to not go back to work that fueled the levels we are seeing and the lack of product and supply and then his slamming down our energy production with his cutting Keystone, raising royalties on oil drilled on federal lands, high taxes on oil production and read my sig, HIS POLICY which has driven our gas prices through the roof and the cost of EVERYTHING. BTW Fed Chairman Powell testified today that the war in Ukraine is NOT what created this inflation. Biden owns owns Bidenflation and it shows in his polling. And they make it even worse insulting the intelligence of the American people with their excuse making and finger pointing.

    Trump is infamous with support from Russia apologists. There isn't much room for progression with conservative policy. Nice try.
