    It is low in rural America, which is where the MAGA types mostly live.

    Rural pockets of America, sure. I imagine it is. But most of America isn't t rural.

    I agree about Western NC. I've e seen that myself

    I'm going to aggravate you the way my kids did me when I said something they felt was conversation ending: whatever!

    My daughter went to App State and graduated 14 years ago. After a year with Teach For America, she then went to the London School of Economics. I tell you that because she got a good education at ASU. Your daughter will love it.

    The logical fallacies of that article are legion, as is its final conclusion.

    Here's the salient two paragraphs in the WaPo article by the former secretaries of defense:

    "Our elections have occurred. Recounts and audits have been conducted. Appropriate challenges have been addressed by the courts. Governors have certified the results. And the electoral college has voted. The time for questioning the results has passed; the time for the formal counting of the electoral college votes, as prescribed in the Constitution and statute, has arrived.

    As senior Defense Department leaders have noted, “there’s no role for the U.S. military in determining the outcome of a U.S. election.” Efforts to involve the U.S. armed forces in resolving election disputes would take us into dangerous, unlawful and unconstitutional territory. Civilian and military officials who direct or carry out such measures would be accountable, including potentially facing criminal penalties, for the grave consequences of their actions on our republic."

    fyi... they were talking about the military seizing voting machines.

    Here's the spin in your article:

    "Yet Cheney herself seems to have orchestrated opposition to use of the military to quell election-related unrest, allegedly organizing a Washington Post op-ed on Jan. 3, 2021, signed by every living former defense secretary."

    Does that jive what was said in the WaPo piece? Is a violent insurrection now to be considered an "unresolved election dispute"? What evidence did they provide that Cheney orchestrated this op-ed? Where is trump's authorization of troops? If trump had authorized troops, why didn't he fly into a rage when they were not deployed?

    Why are you reading trash like the Federalist, @Gatorrick22?

    Fact check: Trump did not request 10,000 Guard troops for Jan. 6

    Trump never gave order to deploy National Guard ahead of January 6, former defense secretary testifies
    Miller Contradicts himself, says Trump did not order to deploy Jan.6 troops

    You dropped the "woke liberal garbage" line in this thread. Why not explain, since it seemingly came out of nowhere?

    I did explain. It was a specific reference to MSNBC and the way they tend to label everything that disagrees with them.

    She'll be close to you, but she's definitely going out into the world to find her way. I'm sure you and your wife have raised her well.

    Right, but I didn't see your answer to the question of how you define woke.

    The constant use of bigot and racism to describe anyone who disagrees with them is what I think of.... Here was my quote above:
