Bud, you and I are too far apart to really waste much more breath or typing on the matter.
Big business needs to bring jobs back stateside to the communities that need them. If that means some regulatory and tax breaks for big companies, then I guess that's the way it is.
Americans working in American communities is better for America than Chinese working in China.
White people are called racist every day, and associated with tragedies that we had no part in. That by definition is racist. Clumping people into something based on skin color.
Every time a race hustling talking head with an agenda gets on TV they ask me to atone and feel bad.
We have acknowledged it. It's called history books. It's called the civil war. It's called all the rules, laws, regulations, quotas, diversity rules, welfare, etc that have come about since. Every time the discussion comes up it is acknowledged by everyone, conservative and liberal, that it was bad.
Yes, slavery happened. Yes it was bad. However it is not unique to America.
Nike is putting things on the back of shoes. Flags of other countries that have more current human rights abuses. That fact that the shoe was made by some child in less than ideal conditions for nothing is an atrocity itself. But that's fine. Issues of other countries are palatable.
Again, many people and businesses rich, poor, liberal, or conservative hire illegal immigrant labor. I disagree with it. Pointing out Trump saying look what he did does nothing. We know, and for 1000th time there's nothing that can be done about that until the immigration laws are made more strict and border more secure.
People, many millions of whom voted for Obama and Clinton, did not vote for trump because of racism or because they like cheap immigrant labor. They voted for Trump because he put forth American first ideals.
Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, nor any of the others would have changed the rhetoric coming from the left. The left was going to scream and holler, racism, misogyny, "white lash", etc regardless.
Don't blame pubs for not electing an independent when the libs don't even want a liberal CEO, of liberal company, HQ'd in liberal Seattle to run as one. How about this, you all vote for an independent. I don't agree with Schultz on many things but I can appreciate his rags to riches story and think overall he would probably be a better President than any of the far left and far out candidates we saw in the first two debates.
The libs did not have better candidates in 16. They had more liberal candidates. Which is why we have Trump. Put up a Tim Ryan or Schultz type and come back to the moderate wing of the party, tighten up the stance on border/immigration, ease up on the "Toxic, racist, white, male, priveledge" bs, don't scare all the employers off to foreign countries with outrageous tax and regulations, and the party will win 2024.
