Why NOT to vote Republican

[frugal-one]

yeah, if I remember correctly Oprah and the Rock were going to donate $10 million dollars… real villains….. Who else is stepping up?

Your talking like a true conservative, not like a flaming liberal that I've come to expect from these boards. After all, it's their money right? They have the right to spend and give as they wish.
Oprah net worth around 3.5 billion, the Rock 800 million.

I don't understand why it should be a big deal, but maybe I'm missing something. How many other wealthy public figures didn't do anything at all? I suspect many of them are conservatives.

I was being sarcastic. Ridiculous IMO to give them guff.

frugal-one, I know you were being sarcastic, so was I.
Disclaimer: I've never been to Hawaii, don't know anyone who lives there. And I'm indifferent that 10 million was donated by these two.

The fact remains that social media was not kind to Oprah and the Rock (don't know his real name).Why is this so? My meager understanding is that people are waking up by what they see going on. People from all races, economic classes, political affiliations, etc.This is way bigger than Republican vs Democrat.

If you have not done so, I urge you all to watch the documentary The Family:

From the web site,

"The time is short, and conservatives need a plan. The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies."

Something similar has come up in discussions I've had with a couple of conservative folks. At least the devastating policy part. I have wondered what exactly is so devastating. Sure, there are differences in policies that may tilt the country's direction one way or the other, but devastating? Employment is strong and the market corporate profits have been decent. We seem to be getting enough migrants to fill in the employment void. Inflation is relatively tame. There have been no loss of lives in wars. Those seem like the main issues that routinely come up as policies of debate. There's no pandemic or financial meltdown, which I might consider devastating. Or climate disasters. So I've been curious of what is so "devastating", real or perception?

I might substitute “annoying” for “devastating.” You are aware of hyperbole in political speak, right?
and some actions have launched aspects of our country in the wrong direction.
