Polls: Society & Politics

There is this stupid, leftist, old bitch that rents the downstairs of my parents' home. I live upstairs by myself and soon with my wife. She rents far below market value and she wants to complain about everything. She has voted for Biden and a liberal.

I am about to get married, and she instigates arguments and is nosey. She is like having an HOA president living below you.

She angered me 2 days ago, and I have been making things a living hell for her. I am trying to make her move out. I have a replacement lined up for her.

Orange Man's next move...

This question is aimed at straight couples.

I'm curious to know which you support.

White House Announces Comprehensive Review of Smithsonian Exhibitions.

Mr. Trump’s review of the Smithsonian began in March, when he issued an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” In it, he claimed that the Smithsonian had “come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology” and that it promoted “narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.”

The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it would begin a wide-ranging review scouring wall text, websites and social media “to assess tone, historical framing and alignment with American ideals.” The Smithsonian. Museums will be required to adjust any content that the administration finds problematic within 120 days, the letter said, “replacing divisive or ideologically driven language with unifying, historically accurate and constructive descriptions.”

In its letter, the White House says its review “aims to ensure alignment with the president’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” It adds that the “goal is not to interfere with the day-to-day operations of curators or staff, but rather to support a broader vision of excellence that highlights historically accurate, uplifting and inclusive portrayals of America’s heritage.”

The White House said its review would involve collaboration among museum staff, administration officials and personnel from other agencies. “By focusing on Americanism — the people, principles, and progress that define our nation.

I strongly believe the white, Christian, conservative, straight, young, southern man was harmed the most. Here's why:

The Democrats have weaponized and pushed identity politics, social engineering, and woke ideologies for the past decade and a half.

1. LGBTQRST... alphabet soup: a collection of sexualities and gender identities of everyone except straight people

2. Neofemenism... a very female-focused movement and cause

3. "People of Color"/BLM/Racial "Justice" ... the focus on any racial class but white people

4. Harsh criticism, surveillance, and hatred of Jews and Christians but sensitive to Muslims

Many of these movements were not for the purpose of hatred upon those who were not included, but were very much excluding of those who were not applicable to the movements (white, male, straight). There was indirect harm caused by DEI hiring initiatives.

In addition, failed socio-political and economic policies drove residents out of higher cost of living states into Southern states, dramatically raising the prices of homes within usually cheaper COL areas while wages in the south remained much lower.

Conservatives... that is pretty much self-explanatory because Conservatives are on the opposite political spectrum than the democratic left

So everything I am was being conflicted with the leftist regimes.

No way this would have happened in USA without the push of you know who. The new assembly line producing the new Model Trump. I doubt they call it that, but you can add your own sticker and custom license plate.

$30,000+ plus, that makes vehicles affordable!

I saw an article discussing the Great washout of the tech job market. Once an industry that presidents, billionaires, and other prominent people boasted as the pathway to success is no longer.

It speaks volumes when tech majors are struggling more than art history majors. I have come to wonder, has the software engineer the new aspiring "artist" or musician? You know those career paths that are highly unrealistic where people laugh when you tell them? Like "yeah, I want to be the next studio artist for Disney" or some shit like that.

Meanwhile, the middle class is being pulverized and destroyed. Once the beacon of prosperity of the "American Dream" is becoming less and less likely to obtain, especially for younger generations.

I grew up in a typical upper-middle-class family. The two-story family home in a mostly-white subdivision neighborhood with the community pool, attending top-notch schools, and riding in the family SUV. The baseball team, boy scouts, and my regular doctors visits became a common routine as a child. We were able to eat out at modest places after church. The pantry full of food. You know what I mean.

It seems this lifestyle will never be obtainable in my lifetime. My grandparents were wealthy, my parents were strong upper class, my generation is struggling to even afford an apartment or trailer. It is like kicking a can down a road, getting more and more beat up.

Taxation without representation:

D. C. residents pay some of the highest federal taxes per capita in the U. S. However, they have no voting representation in Congress, meaning they have no say in how those tax dollars are spent. This directly contradicts the principle of "no taxation without representation".

Lack of voting representation:

D. C. has a larger population than Wyoming and Vermont, yet those states have full representation in Congress while D. C. does not. The city's delegate to Congress can participate in debates but cannot vote on bills.

Unequal treatment:

D. C. residents fulfill all obligations of U. S. citizenship, including military service, yet are denied the fundamental right to participate in their own governance through voting in Congress.

Racial justice:

D. C. is majority-Black and has historically faced systemic inequalities. Statehood is seen by many as a matter of racial justice and equality.

Home rule limitations:

While the Home Rule Act granted D. C. some autonomy, Congress still retains the power to override local laws. Statehood would provide D. C. with full self-governance.

Historical precedent:

D. C. residents have been seeking statehood since 1801.

In summary, granting D. C. statehood would address the fundamental injustice of taxation without representation, ensure equal rights for its residents, and allow the city to have a voice in the decisions that affect it.
