Are you voting Republican or Democrat? One question will decide. Whether you prefer tradition or change. If you are like the majority of voters (more than 80%), deciding for which party to vote is a traditional endeavor. You will vote for the same party that your "tribe" has traditionally voted for. If you are an independent voter (less than 20%), you will vote based on whether you prefer tradition or change.  Slap is food for thought.

You are programmed to stay with your pack. Your instinct will be to stay with your pack.  If you are like most voters. none of the arguments or "reasons" of the times will change your mind.

The best recession ever. Enjoy this recession while it lasts. Unemployment is super low. The dollar is super high. Companies are making record profits. Stocks are selling at discounts.

Liz Cheney could run for President. To have a chance, she would need at least three miracles. The first one would be bringing down Donald Jesus Trump. The second miracle would be escaping the wrath of enraged Trump supporters. The third one would be convincing enough Republicans to become moderates or quasi Democrats. Anything is possible, but it does not seem likely that Liz Cheney can become the first woman president of the United States.  Slap is food for thought.

Assuming that they pass away from natural causes, who will die first between Trump, Biden, and Dr. Faucci? We put them in that same order into a casket.

Conservative Christians are under attack. Jesus was a liberal preaching against the conservatives of his times. Conservative rulers killed Jesus by crucifixion.

Some people believe that the Earth is flat. According to some quantum physicists, our universe may be a hologram projected from a flat 2-D plane. Go figure. Maybe the Earth is really flat after all. The 3-D globe we see and perceive may be a simulation produced by our brain. Our brain may be a 3-D virtual headset.

If you think about it, European colonialism is still the fundamental issue in our country. The question is whose lives matter in the United States.

In the past, especially after the Civil War, American migratory patterns were mostly from Southern conservative "red" states to liberal "blue" states. Many sought to escape the socio economic stagnation of the failed confederate racism and the "Jim Crow" segregation laws.  Recently, during and after the COVID pandemic, many Americans began migrating in the opposite direction. Red states are still conservative, regressive, religious, and poor, but since they are less developed they are more affordable.  People migrate looking for a better life. Many Americans are lured into red states due to the relatively low (or at least comparatively lower) cost of living. Red states have lower taxed because traditionally they care less about welfare, health care, public education, and other social programs paid with taxes.  Climate plays a key role in migration patterns. Those who can afford it spend winters in the South to avoid the nasty cold and darkness of Northern

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay.

Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather.

The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form

Change is constant, and every action brings a reaction. The Republican party changed as a reaction to the election of a black president in the United States.
