True. I've noticed the similarity.
I taught middle school kids for years…they struggle with impulsivity and regulating their emotions. The prefrontal cortex, is the last part of the brain to mature.
Every time I have an interaction with an adult Trumper, I’m reminded of those kids. Trumpers often struggle with underformed brains…

These rural areas of Oregon that just got screwed over by House Republicans voted approximately 70/30 for Trump and other Republicans last month.
Counties and schools in rural Oregon (and 40 other states) to lose millions in federal money in 2025 after Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives failed to reauthorize a 24-year-old bill that typically pays up to $80 million a year to the state.

Women are battling uphill again; but, we have knowledge, wisdom, and more advantages than our moms/grandmothers.
We enjoyed the legal gains and social progress for 50 years, and must rise like the brave women before us, for those coming behind us.

Urge Congress to fight monopolies that are price gouging, make companies pay their fair share of taxes, & stop companies from squeezing consumers & supercharging inflation. Fair marketplace competition is good for the economy. http://dlvr.it/TGmdzX

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit.
But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it.
Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Question? What am I missing. How can the Republicans claim they are the party for the working class and the poor and be run by billionaires? I know we're talking perception.
Shouldn't we stand up for ourselves?
