I’m noticing that friends/family who have recently broken with GOP make a point of saying the same re: one party rule. But most prior to Trump deeply opposed to any and every Democrat. So that’s yet another shift. But I wonder about its basis.

That’s one heck of a fungible idea of people. Moronic too.

What the hell school was he sent to that encouraged kids to bring guns to school?!? We’re supposed to believe this bullshit?! As if a Kennedy was sent to a school where all the farm kids took the first day of deer hunting season off?

True. I was talking with a high school friend I suspect voted for Trump the other night who makes a point of constantly claiming “both sides” when in discussions about what’s currently happening. But the degree to which that is true is so marginal…is there any true equivalence to this Trump admin?

I remember reading these in the 70s and being enthralled. Thanks for reminding me of them. I wonder how reading them as a 72-year-old will differ from reading them as a 20-something year old.
