Long story short - they look at how successful liberals are, look at the mess they're in, and they conclude that we liberals must be stealing from them.
Once you understand this mentality, you understand why they say what they say. They truly believe there is a class of elites who are cocock-blocking them, and they (as the real Americans) must wrestle the country back from us nefarious schemers.
It's all under the umbrella of taking personal responsibility. Don't ask.

Reading your post was the best belly laugh I have had lately.
"They truly believe there is a class of elites?" No, we truly believe there are people who think they are elites. It is like the grocery cashier who gets upset at the older lady because she didn't bring a bag to put her groceries in. I am sure you have all seen the lady putting the smarty pants cashier in her place. Only mess I see are the morals of the liberal baby killing, drug heads.
For what should it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his soul. Life is not just about money for everyone.
I don't immigrants were the crux of his argument. The title is:
'Why does Trump country consider themselves real America if the centers of innovation and wealth are in the left leaning'
And he's correct: Centers of innovation are highly concentrated in more left-leaning areas. That is simply a fact. Austin is one of those areas.
BTW you need a geography lesson.
Go back and read the actual post and stop being so dishonest. Do I have to quote it for you? Am I going to have to drive you kicking and screaming from your bogus narrative? The OPs post is about immigrants being vital for innovation in tech and medical. Everyone here reading this knows that.
Do your homework about Austin before you spout off any further on its tech industry and it's relationship to your blessed altar of liberalism.
Tech in Austin was jump-started in 1982 by the MCC consortium headed by Adm Bobby Ray Inman (former CIA dir). It was a govt/industry initiative to build first tier tech research in the US to keep the Japanese from running away with next generation computer technology. Austin was NOT your blessed little San Francisco with heat back then. It was a sleepy college/state town with virtually no Indian/Asian population. MCC was the seed that started Austin's tech boom and it was completely orthogonal to liberalism/conservatism from the very beginning and still is today. BTW Austin won out in the selection process over Stanford and Raleigh N.C. So I guess the US govt and Industrial giants didn't think your coastal liberalism was all that vital either.
Seriously you'd better not step to me on this. I lived the whole thing.
10 most innovative states:
1. District of Columbia
2. Maryland
3. Massachusetts
4. California
5. Colorado
6. Washington
7. Virginia
8. Utah
9. Connecticut
10. New Hampshire
Except for Utah, pretty much all red or purple states. And you can click on the link to see which states are the least innovative, and discern their political leanings yourself.
So you want to show me proof that engineers are not conservative ? I dont know what metrics were used to make that list but that proves my point about government spending. DC is not a state but there is nothing innovative about the whole dc/md/va area, I grew up there and its full of nightmarish traffic, incredibly poorly run city and area. The three places (dc/md,va) cant get together to solve the whole traffic nightmare
Truly innovative places are cities and countries that apply technology to every day problems,like tokyo and japan, singapore, south korea and though I have never been, dubai, state of the art mass transit, low crime, much more futuristic than anything in the states

That is the stupidest list I have ever seen. There is ZERO innovation in DC.

OK, here's another list. This one probably makes more sense anyway.
America's Top States for Innovation in 2016
1. Washington (state, not DC)
2. California
3. Massachusetts
4. New York
5. Maryland
6. Michigan
7. North Carolina
8. Colorado
9. Minnesota
10. Texas
ONE red state (TX), two purple states (CO and NC) and all the rest are blue states.
Since it is THEY who created that wealth, then no, they are not parasitizing anyone. Except maybe themselves.
But no one in this thread has presented any evidence that they are creating more wealth than the Right, or any wealth at all. And we know that the "fathers of Silicon Valley" are considered to be so far to the right that -- in the case of Terman -- schools named after him are being renamed and -- in the case of Shockley -- he wound up better-known for his views on race than for his Nobel Prize.
