There are plenty of clues within the rant (a good one, granted) to suggest that this has already been posted elsewhere.Perhaps the location on his profile where it says where he is from (Brighton) is not where he actually lives presently?

I think the apathy among young voters in MI is more to do with the fact that they can’t afford to put gas in their cars, pay their rent or put food on their tables.And here endeth the one and only lesson worth listening to imo - a very sensible ’letter from America’ that articulates the vacuous nature of current Republican thinking perfectly. Restores my hope in the ability of America to make the right choice in November.
@One Love - I hope you don’t mind but I am copying your narrative into an email to my Aunty in Michigan who is working hard on the ground to counter a growing sense of apathy amongst the electorate in that State, especially among young voters - I think it will be inspiring.
Actually, the ‘apathy’ I had in mind was because young voters feel disenfranchised by a couple of old codgers going at it head to head again in a repeat of an election battle most want to forget - also, (I think we talked about this before?) the Democratic ‘non-committals’ who are unhappy with Biden’s response to Gaza.I think the apathy among young voters in MI is more to do with the fact that they can’t afford to put gas in their cars, pay their rent or put food on their tables.
…but is still certainly a misrepresentation by him. Politicians (both parties) have been throwing money at different causes for decades now, to no effect, other than a 36 trillion national debt. Just enforce the current immigration laws and do it legally. That’s what I had to do.Based on previous posts, @One Love was born in Brighton but that doesn’t mean Texas is not the current residence.
I suspect anyway, it is a cut and paste because no one writes such good prose off the top of their head like that but mainly because of it’s plea to support the Bipartisan Immigration Bill which actually died on the floor of the Senate on February 7 after it was opposed by all but 4 Reps and a few Dems. It was written some time ago therefore imo, maybe even posted in a local paper or on a leaflet.
That doesn’t take away from the clarity and perceptiveness of the writer, nor renders any of it less ‘real’ or less powerful.
I guess Gaza is for the other thread. But why is it that “the left” compare Trump to Hitler while at the same time espousing support for Hamas whose sole purpose is to eradicate Israel?Actually, it is in fact, because young voters feel disenfranchised by a couple of old codgers going at it head to head again in a repeat of an election battle most want to forget - also, (I think we talked about this before?) the Democratic ‘non-committals’ who are unhappy with Biden’s response to Gaza.
The left don’t support Hamas, the only people that support Hamas are other terrorists or at least those that condone violence extremism..I guess Gaza is for the other thread.

I’m the wrong person to ask about comparing Trump to Hitler (which is ridiculous anyway) . Being Jewish, the only person I will ever ever compare to Hitler is Hitler.
I have found our ‘I live in Texas’ narrative BTW posted by @One Love

I agree (and acknowledged) it was very well put together. I just don’t agree with the content.Yeah - rethinking the sources of that
This was interesting on my search- a non-profit, media messaging organisation (political) called ‘Progress Texas’ - maybe the authorship of said narrative? I still say it’s a great piece of prose though but the more I read it, the more it sounds very well ‘crafted’ and put together.

Why don't you 'do your own research' and find out...?Serious question. Is this a cut and paste job or do you really live in Texas?
Your location says Brighton?
A really good opinion pice by Victor Davis Hanson.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders responded to the Axios report with a statement defending the president's work ethic:
"The time in the morning is a mix of residence time and Oval Office time, but he always has calls with staff, Hill members, cabinet members and foreign leaders during this time. The President is one of the hardest workers I've ever seen and puts in long hours and long days nearly every day of the week all year long. It has been noted by reporters many times that they wish he would slow down because they sometimes have trouble keeping up with him."
Here you go, quoted from the BBC article so it may even be true. Sarah Sanders is a far more reliable source than left wing Axios, the source BBC used for its hit piece.
It's cut and paste, I don't think One Love was trying to pretend otherwise:Serious question. Is this a cut and paste job or do you really live in Texas?

Which is why I started it withIt's cut and paste, I don't think One Love was trying to pretend otherwise:
She was defending Trump’s ‘‘work ethic’ because she had specifically been asked about the Axios Report (which I quoted above) which looked at how Trump spent his days in the WH (also quoted above).Sarah Sanders is a Republican! She's hardly going to slag him off is she.
And why was she having to defend his work ethic in the first place? Obviously because people had noticed he wasn't working much.
Well we can all agree that she is a stand up trustworthy woman, and if she says Trump works hard, that's good enough for me.She was defending Trump’s ‘‘work ethic’ because she had specifically been asked about the Axios Report (which I quoted above) which looked at how Trump spent his days in the WH (also quoted above).
