As a liberal, I admit that markets can't solve everything. Trump supporters can't seem to concede that for some reason.
Because Trump supporters are socialists...just like Trump himself.

I'm a capitalist. There are no Trump supporters at the weekly meeting.

Conservatives are busy making sure that nobody rocks the boat

trump is against the so-called 'freetrade' agreements, that liberals put into place. They are NOT the free market


median household income in USA is 60k...… median household wage in china is 5k...…


cant have ?freetrade? when you have such a wage disparity




you as a liberal are not about free markets.. you are about globalism (socialism)

If America's a free country, then why don't I have the right to vandalize other's property? Or steal vegetables out of my neighbor's garden? Seems like denying other's the right to take stuff, or vandalizing your stuff, is hypocritical: Freedom for me, but not for thee. ZERO rules is what personal freedom's supposed to be all about. Anything short of that is arbitrary.

And that's why I give freedom only second-level priority.

I think it depends on what you're talking about. Here's the definition of Socialism:

"a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

Under that definition, I think the whole of the USA becoming Socialist Trump is correct. If your mean some areas of services might fall under that definition such as health care for example, I think Trump is wrong.

This will never be a socialist country because we are already 23 trillion in debt. Those who believe that America is going to endlessly create new entitlement programs are morons whistling in the dark as they ignore structural realities.
