This is wishful thinking. Democrats are still unwilling to change many of their policies that got them into this mess. People voted against the status quo in 2024, and Democrats are still trying to offer people a return to pre-Trump.
It's possible that Trump will turn people off enough that they vote for someone else, but if the US survives this term I feel like Americans will just view it with the same unreality with which they apparently regarded January 6th. Trump is weirdly slippery and none of his outrageous, glaring faults hurt him. He will have to utterly destroy things for people to decide he's a problem at this point.
I was trying to present his concerns as being relatable; I don't think he's unreasonable.
Marriage is pretty good. He's a good partner, a very moral person, and a great, involved father.
I think I'd rather die in a concentration camp than break up my family... At least, if I knew my kids would be okay. I don't think it's likely I'd be able to take my kids overseas with me if I left him over it anyway.
I am trying to talk my husband into moving. I can probably land the job in the EU I am interviewing for, but he does NOT want to move. He doesn't want to leave the small amount of community we have. He doesn't want to overreact in fear to this administration. He doesn't want to give up our home and our lifestyle (the EU pays substantially less across many industries). Our parents are getting older and sicker; it's hard to move abroad when you know there's probably only a handful of years left with them, especially when you have children.
I think the Internet discounts how difficult it can be to uproot.
The reason behind priests not being allowed to marry originally had nothing to do with their faith though. It's because Catholic priests were bequeathing church assets to their children when they died. The church just put a thin veneer of dogma on top of the reasoning when they used the dictate of no marriage to stop the theft.
Not sure what your definition of people is, but Mexicans, Ugandan, and Koreans all eat grasshoppers (and probably others). I know crickets are eaten in Southeast Asia.
Ants seem too tiny to try to eat, but a Google search reveals they are eaten in South America and Southeast Asia.
Hearing new voices with perspectives shaped by new places and ideas strengthens us. That is the underlying principle of freedom of speech and freedom of the press in liberal democracies.
You argue for weakness: weakness of mind, weakness of spirit, and weakness of morals.
Putting it on personal mobile devices allows it 1) to be more easily exfiltrared to their foreign affiliates, and 2) allows them to get around FOIA. I'm sure most of their actions are being carried out in a similar manner.
Even if we ever do wrest power from them, we will have to go along without ever knowing everything they have broken.
