- A twice impeached and multiple time indicted ex-President is the betting favorite to win the white house.

- The Republicans are carrying Russia's water and supporting them in a war against a Democratic neighbor and US/European ally.

- Israel is getting more support from Saudi Arabia than they're getting on US college campuses.

- The GOP supports import tarriffs and exiting free trade deals while the [mainstream] Democrats support expansion of trade deals.

- A United States President would not want to be seen or photographed with wounded veterans because it was a "bad look."

- The Democrats are the pro-immigration party.

- We had the worst pandemic in a century and created a highly effective vaccine in record time only to have the political leaders of one party sow distrust based on a bitter, pathetic hatred of academia and studied expertise (never mind that pre-Trump, most practioners of hard sciences were right wingers).
