The liberal goal is that America be a nation of 1billion + mostly uneducated peasants with a handful of ultra rich. Look at Venezuela as a warning.

You realize that Venezuela is led by a populist dictator, right?

A guy who likes to berate the media, foreigners and elitists, wants to build walls and trade barriers, claims only he can make Venezuela great again and who has consolidated power from the former liberal order.

Gee, this sounds familiar. Where I have seen this before?

There are basically ZERO liberals in the U.S. who look up to Maduro, BTW. He is their worst Trumpian nightmare.

Liberals prefer to model after Scandinavian countries. Last I checked, they're not starving over in Norway or Denmark.

And yes, I realize they have a more regressive tax system (by way of VAT), and I am fine with that if we reaped similar societal benefits.

OP doesn't understand Liberal or Conservative points on the global political spectrum.

All Trump supporters are white supremacists that their ultimate goal is to deport or kill all non-white men and enslave the non-white women and children. Hey, I can stereotype too!

Agreed! And the strategy of the Dream-merchants is to force many displaced, often-pro-Trump blue collar workers into the meaningless service-sector jobs in their Fantasyland, modeled after Mexico and the emerging Peoples' State of Kalifornia.

But as was proven back in November, a lot of us are wise to it.

I wish the liberals would all move to Venezuela, and take their celebrity heroes with them.

Wish conservatives would all move to Somalia and take all their control freaks with them.

It's also important to note that countries like Norway and Denmark are more culturally, racially, and socially homogeneous.
