Here's what worries me. If you were around in 1968 and saw the student protests at the Democratic convention, and the impact it had on the elections that year (Nixon won) then maybe you see parallels with 2024. Republicans are making this another LAW & ORDER culture war issue.

Children should be allowed to form their own beliefs and values without the influence of religion.

Speaker Mike Johnson should explain how subsidies for poor people to afford internet access, which is a necessity, is a handout.

But tax breaks for billionaires to buy more yachts and jets, which aren’t necessities, are not.

But…
