Yep, the MAQA yahoo ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of mediocre/incompetent white men and demoralizing women and minorities that don't toe the line.

I don't agree with everything Crockett or Sears say or do but I do believe they both want what's best for the United States. Mutual respect and collaboration will lead to better government and a brighter future for the United States then bullying, boasting and temper tantrums.

Representative Crockett, like Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, is a smart minority and a great asset to the United States.

I'm not so insecure that I only think that people I agree with are smart or a great asset to the United States. You should try it.

Republicans may have overestimated how much voters care about ‘woke CEOs’
Companies pushing measures to address climate change and racial justice, he said, “blur the boundary between our civic space and our space as capitalists. We don’t want capitalism and democracy sharing the same bed. We need a clean divorce.”

That certainly fits classical economic history. But as many polls have shown, Americans trust CEOs more than they trust politicians—or, at least, distrust them less. The argument that CEOs should leave tough issues like climate change and racial justice to government—which Ramaswamy and others deride as being overtaken by the “deep state”—is hardly likely to excite GOP voters. That’s why, I suspect, attacks on CEOs are subsiding… and why CEOs are lying low until they do.
Is the pendulum starting to swing back?

I know who Winsome Sears is and I'm not googling her because your question is irrelevant.

My point is that I don't have to agree with someone to respect them and their intentions. I don't think everyone who disagrees with me is against me and/or is my enemy. That attitude is common with extremists on both the left and the right, including MAQA yahoos, and is unhealthy for this country.

Why are you only focused on what I might disagree with Sears on and not Crockett?

Why do specifics matter?

There are no specifics. I haven't looked that closely at what Sears has said to know specifics. I do know that it is extremely unlikely that I agree with everything she's said (or everything Crockett's said). My point is that that's okay. I can respect them both despite any differences of opinion. I don't have that same respect for whackadoodles like marge and Beetlejuice.

You're delusional if you think I'm in quicksand. Your question or whatever point you're trying to make is irrelevant.

Like mutts are healthier than purebred dogs, diversity makes humans stronger and better.

Insecure people who are threatened by those who are different or need to scapegoat others to feel better about their own lives are a much greater threat to America.

Bullshit because I very likely don't agree with everything Crockett or Sears say so it's a reasonable assumption to make. I don't need to provide specific examples.

It's okay to disagree. It's actually a good thing and smart, self-confident leaders want people with different perspectives on their team because it makes the team and whatever it produces better.

You spend a lot of time trying to pin me down with irrelevant questions and points. Are you trying to distract from the main point or are you really this obtuse?

You can't do it. You can't say that trump is a scumbag. If you do, you'll likely get kicked out of the MAQA yahoo he-man women haters cult.

Why am I diseased? Because I disagree with you about trump? That's a shitty reason to think someone is diseased.

I didn't say trump wasn't a leader. I said he wasn't a good leader. I can back that up with examples of his poor leadership traits from bullying and name calling to not being able to take responsibility when things go bad.

biden and trump are different but they're both scumbags and there is plenty of evidence that trump is just as if not more of a scumbag than biden. You choosing to ignore or downplay it doesn't mean it isn't there.

Biden was a scumbag. Most Dem pols and strategists are.

See, CH? That was easy!

Btw. Trump is not a leader. Trump’s a boss. There’s a difference.
