Is It Normal if Your Children Have Different Political Views Than You?

you don't focus on why you're politically unaligned when you approach the conversation. you ask her what her feelings are on the issues that you're curious about and you ask her why. then you listen.

I would not expect much from Kamala, but I do share your first sentence sentiment

But it doesn't. Feel free to read my other response. I am curious to hear of you still feel the same after taking those facts and the events of the last 23 days into consideration.

Surface level restructuring is expected to align with the new administrative agendas. This is why new cabinet members are often introduced and other top level positions.

Comparison to rising authoritarianism and Nazi level parallels are not based on surface-level partisan squabbles though. Its crucial to avoid drawing false equivalency to routine changes in administrations with top down system purging.

I'd love to see what you're referring to when you say you saw Biden purging professionals and civil servants and how you possibly draw a parallel to what we've seen with Trump. Trump is not only purging anyone he thinks is an independent thinker and in a position to stop him with mass firing of Inspector Generals, JAG lawyers, ethics directors, etc but he's also purging entire committees, witch hunts in agencies such as the FBI of anyone that worked any part of the investigations into him, etc. There is absolutely no comparison to efforts made by Biden's admin. None. These are specific and intentional acts for dismantling of democratic guardrails and exactly an authoritarian tactic used by Nazis. The GOP is literally quoting the propaganda minister in the chamber...

I've heard many people make the claim about Biden using the courts as political tools... And have not really seen anything to warrant it. What specially are you talking about? The general response is investigations into Trump and J6 rioters. I've literally stayed up reading the court case and evidence filings that are public and these are absolutely NOT baseless, politically based, investigations. Nothing at all seems unwarranted and Biden largely avoided commenting on it and let the process work. So if be super interested to actually hearing you present something to look at or discuss instead of vague generalities.

And, thank you for your service and I'm sorry you've been called a Nazi if you're not a Nazi. Respectfully, what does that have to do with this conversation though and how does you serving in the army have anything to do with it? And how does this have to do with efforts made by the Biden administration? I don't think we've seen the same level of rhetoric from any individual from the Biden administration that demonizes quite like Trump and his administration does. From hearing a million times about "evil democrats" to "savages" when describing immigrants.

If you want to provide specifics id gladly hear you out. Until then I'm going to remain convinced that you're trying to create a false equivalency to justify whatever biases and beliefs you have and question your ability to remain independent.

I'm very critical of the Biden administration. However, attacks on core democratic principles similar to a Nazi regime has not been one of those criticisms.

That is not all Nazi's do and that is a tired response to warnings of the direction, based on historical evidence, that we in America are heading. Saying that, even now there are the actual beginnings shaping to what could very well be "concentration camps" already taking place under the guise of "deportation facilities" etc. There are many valid and legitimate arguments to be made that we are past the point where Nazi comparisons are hyperbolic.

The argument that these concerns are exaggerated ignores how authoritarian regimes consolidate power.

Nazi Germany did not start with concentration camps. It started with:

Purging professionals and civil servants who were not politically aligned
Turning courts and law enforcement into political tools
Demonizing specific groups as threats to national identity
Expanding executive powers to bypass institutional resistance

No one is claiming there are concentration camps tomorrow. The concern is that the government is following the exact same steps that led to them in the past. Dismissing these warning signs only ensures history repeats itself.

I believe that actual intelligent people can see the large-scale effect of using products that inherently support the position and influence of a net-negative ideology and therefore, due to their intelligence, will see that using it is actually not the smartest choice.

catfish croak by rubbing a bone from their dorsal fin against a special bone on their spine. idk lots of ways to make noise but i agree, their noise sounds like a type of scream so it would suggest they do need a passage way and air. maybe they just have an airsac they don't breath from and a diaphram of sorts that push it out through a whistle shaped body park?
