Listener’s Opinion

ALL of Donald Trump’s cult believe everything he says. He has free rein to do and say whatever he wants because his followers will believe and support him no matter what. This freedom allows him to be as outrageous and radical as he wants. He can lie about anything and still get the full support of his cult. That’s the playbook of a dictator and a cult leader. So for those that don’t believe they are supporting a wannabe dictator / cult leader; take a close look at this man’s lies and actions.

We’re at a boiling point because of the out of control tribalism. You’re either with us or you are a traitor. How has this gotten so bad? What can we do to get together again? Let’s discuss.

One thing that Republicans are good at is setting a narrative that sticks with their base. That’s not hard to do because their base believes anything that’s on Fox News. So they said it’s Dem’s fault for the removal of McCarthy. It worked! The base believed it!

In the current political landscape, it is no secret that the most effective way to secure funds for one’s campaign is to adopt a highly controversial stance. The individuals who make the most noise tend to attract substantial financial support from both the radical left and the radical right. Prominent figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jim Jordan have grasped the dynamics of modern fundraising. They have become adept campaign fundraisers by capitalizing on the concept that more exposure on television equates to more financial backing. This trend is rapidly spreading to other politicians who are keen to emulate the success of these seasoned campaigners. The prevailing strategy seems to prioritize generating a significant buzz through being vociferous, contentious, and confrontational, often overshadowing the objective of effectively governing and legislating. Marjorie Taylor Greene, in particular, has mastered the art of being loud, obnoxious, and provocative, thereby maximizing her fundraising potential. Her approach is to seize any opportunity to make audacious statements, promptly dispatching texts and emails to her supporters with headlines that read, “Look At What I Did For You.” The pivotal question that arises is: Who are the contributors supporting this seemingly outlandish conduct? It is the radical elements on both the right and the left ends of the political spectrum who are the primary patrons of this political theater. These individuals, often immersed in ideologically driven media, are eager to allocate their hard-earned funds to sustain this spectacle, perpetuating a cycle where controversial rhetoric is rewarded with financial reinforcement.

In California, a recurring pattern is observed where homeless individuals battling drug addiction appear resistant to help. This resistance is often interpreted as a desire to continue their drug use, unimpeded by interventions. Such situations contribute to the deterioration of communities and urban areas, not only in California but also in cities like Portland, Oregon, and others across the nation. This opinion is backed up by the fact that many rebab facilities and treatment centers go two-thirds unused because many don’t want assistance or they don’t like the rules if they do use these facilities. So they go back on the streets like an endless loop. A balanced perspective suggests that the ongoing degradation of neighborhoods is a direct result of a cyclic problem: the homeless, struggling with drug addiction, are frequently returned to the streets without adequate treatment. This issue requires a nuanced approach. The solutions proposed by Republicans are often viewed as overly stringent, while those offered by Democrats are considered excessively lenient. As a result, those advocating for a centrist approach find themselves bearing the burden of this dilemma. They argue for a balanced strategy that neither criminalizes addiction nor neglects the need for effective rehabilitation and support systems. The goal is to create a sustainable solution that addresses the root causes of addiction and homelessness, while also considering the well-being and safety of the broader community.
