Good lord. Republicans are simply OBSESSED with race. This is the 5th or 6th post today.
Sad!
You’re acting like that’s something new. It isn’t.
It’s been a key element of the GOP playbook since the days of Richard Nixon and Strom Thurmond (see Kevin Phillips book “The Coming Republican Majority”).
Unfortunately for the R establishment, the base of the party was eventually transformed into what it has now become.

No different than how a Republican from Kansas or Texas would vote for a Manhattanite who's been a Democrat for most of his life, never went to work a day in the way we common folks understand it, was born rich and knows nothing about a normal American's life, as evidenced by his constant touting of the stock market that doesn't do anything for anybody without a stock portfolio.
Trump really didn't bring the jobs back, did he?
In fact if the Republicans have their way computer programmers will make about ten grand a year more than janitors. As people lose pensions and medical coverage, Socialism will start to look good. Ten, twenty, thirty years away. It depends on how bad things get and how quick.
Let's remember the next recession will cause some budget surprises. Continued deficits will bring budget surprises. There's more surprises unless our leaders start acting responsibly.
If you think that I'm kidding take a look at how popular Communism became during the Depression.

He wants to make trade fair with China, which means one of two things - we start making everything here and start paying 3-5 times as much for everything, or we depress our wages down to that of Chinese factory workers.
Either way, it gets a whole lot harder to pitch in a campaign speech to people who also thought these ideas sounded good in theory, but didn't like the outcome in practice.

After eight years under the tyranny of Zero, we now understand the rules under which you play - to paraphrase Joseph Goebbels, "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty".
The threat to our nation hasn't diminished. Every few decades we have to slash and burn the Left.
When was a communist ever in power in the US?
is it a sarcastic post?
