Funny, I thought we were supposed to vote for what's best for this nation, not what's best for me.

I live in a town that puts low income housing all over the place so it would not be a problem for anybody in my here. Well perhaps those old communities that had sundown laws and were restricted to white Christians. Some never even changed those restrictions even though they are illegal.

Looking at school demographics, many of the schools in Harris county have 50-60% economically disadvantaged.

Only thing is, if you’re asserting the idiocy claim, then you can’t make yourself the exception.

So which is it?
No it's not, because they're just as insecure if not more so than an average American. By casting vote for Biden they make themselves feel better. There's not much at stake for them....at this point. If down the road he proves to be a tax and spend Democrat, I'm sure they'll reconsider.

But, when it comes to real meat and potatoes, like paying more taxes, they're voting against that as I've already said.

What, you think just because a household makes $150k to $200k a year they're somehow immune to social influences? That basic human psychology doesn't apply to them?

Women in the suburbs can't stand him.

Okay. I’m not gonna argue. It ain’t my fight.

Lol...I’m from Scottsdale, Arizona dude. $150k to 200k in household income ain’t all that impressive. Naturally, they don’t have immunity from the social zeitgeist. You’d need a helluva lot more money than that to be impervious to your surroundings.

So you’re not telling me anything that I don’t know.

Heheheh.....me too. Except I've seen a lot more than six BLM signs. If you ask me, they should first put "Black Lives Exist" signs in front of their houses. We should first establish that black people actually exist, before we claim that they matter. Because living in that neighborhood, you would never know it.

What changed in the “suburbs” between 2016 and 2020?


Riots.

Police not responding.

Democrats staging ridiculous, highly public disruptions of speeches, rallies, and even Congressional hearings.

Covid.

Ah, it sounds like you're one of those residents of a lily-white suburb who has a Black Lives Matter sign in front of your house. In which case, I'm curious: if you like black people so much, why don't you live near any black people?

They are of the generation that was indoctrinated by the vile teachers' unions these past 20 + years.
It's only going to get worse.
Best.Post.Ever!

For those of you who only skim these posts, in case you missed it, here are the key words from above. So, so, soooo worth repeating:
  • "woke"
  • gelded husbands
  • self righteous twits
  • vile teachers' unions
