    Is Gender Ideology a RELIGION built like a house of cards?

    Why not just let everyone else do what THEY want, while you do what YOU want? What's the problem? Why do you care?

     

    Most secular people think religious people are nuts! Living their lives based on some dusty fairy tale.. You don't have to like that, but it's true. Do you know what secular people do about it? Nothing. So long as you're not hurting anybody or take away people's rights, everyone else just lets you be. It's hypocritical at best.

     

    Stop trying to push your morals down everyone's throat and go about your lives. Try to be more like your boy JC and treat others as you wish to be treated.

    You claim to speak for most secular people? Any basis for being their spokesman?

    Biden keeps running up the victories

    In an unexpected breakthrough, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., reversed his opposition to quickly moving a broad filibuster-proof bill Wednesday and announced he will support a package that includes major investments in drug pricing, as well as provisions to address climate change and taxes on the wealthy.

    There’s been so much winning! Hard to believe there are polls showing him even more unpopular than the last guy. I’ve read that it might be a problem with messaging. I’m going with that and heaping equal blame on NYT, WaPo, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and Twitter for not being clear in articulating these victories.

    Sure thing. 
     

    Partisanship:

     

    We live in a hyper polarized society built on a two party system. While proper governance requires compromise, our politics incentivize an “Us vs Them” mentality. Even if a bill is incredibly popular with the American public, your incentive is to oppose it if passing it would mean a win for the opposition party. 
     

    It brings the worst part of politics into the gears of government and grinds everything to a halt, resulting in everyone being mad at the government but the people in charge having no incentive to change their behavior.

     

    Failure of the news media:

     

    It used to be that we would get news in printed papers, long form magazines, and an hour each evening on the tv from trusted sources. News, by and large, wasn’t an important commodity. It was a small part of the day.

     

    Now, we have cable news, 24/7 news cycles, social media, internet news, and an unending stream of information. This incentivizes companies to publish the most salacious or rage-inducing stories. In the contest between emotion and logic, logic doesn’t stand a chance. Since the advent of CNN, our eyeballs have become a commodity and the best way to keep them engaged through the ad break is to make their owner mad.

     

    So what was once a small landscape of people providing the news is now a giant mess of sensationalism trying to keep us engaged by manipulating our emotions.

     

    Lack of shared facts:

     

    Given the decentralization and sensationalization of the news media, we no longer live in a shared reality. We consume the “news” that makes us feel better or smarter or superior. If a news source says something we disagree with or upsets us, we switch to one that will agree with us and comfort us. 
     

    This has led to the destruction of a shared reality. We cannot agree on facts, we cannot agree on much of anything. We just seek out the news that tells us what we want to hear and dismiss anything else as biased or outright lies. 

    Can’t argue with any of that but I don’t think it answers the original question of why will congress likely switch hands as the OP suggests. Everything you state here could easily apply to democrats maintaining their standing.

    Among people of color, 45% now approve of Biden's overall performance, down from 54% in the spring. That decline includes a 6-point dip among Black adults and a 9-point decline among Hispanic adults. Biden's approval ratings for handling the economy and inflation now break negative among Black adults, who have been among the President's strongest backers (47% approve and 52% disapprove on the economy, while 34% approve and 65% disapprove on inflation).

    Thank heavens. Bring on President DeSantis. I understand he’s a nazi, hates gays, women, POC and killed thousands of his citizens with COVID. He’s also worse than Trump. Nevertheless…

    This is not a George Floyd situation. George Floyd was unarmed. This is not OK,” Foss-Yarbrough launched at the protesters who gathered for a march and rally for the man on Saturday, according to the video. “He tried to kill me in front of my kids.”

    And at least one clueless “protester” yelled at her to shut up. Unbelievable.

    Youngkin breaks from CDC with new COVID recommendations for schools

     

    In a release, Youngkin announced that quarantine is no longer recommended after exposure to COVID in school, child care and camp settings. This applies to asymptomatic individuals and is regardless of vaccination status.

     

    That differs from the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which still recommends anyone who comes into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should quarantine for at least five days if they are not up to date on their COVID vaccines.

     

    The release from Youngkin’s office also states that, “in general masks are not routinely recommended” in schools, child care facilities and camp settings, indoors or outdoors.
