Very convincing, detailed and cutting response.

You are never going to get anything factual or informative out of Cringing on this topic. A well meaning pro-American guy I am sure but, aside from union talking points, consistently offers very little of substance in these frequent vanity rants.

It seems like he watches a patriotic movie and rushes to the forums to rail against the red threat and demand everyone buy American without thinking through the subject matter really at all. No thought about why American manufacturers became uncompetitive in the first place, no consideration about how unions went from arguably useful to downright destructive, no concern that US consumers have the freedom to buy a product that is as good as what the Chinese or anyone else offers at a comparable price, etc. Instead you get union/progressive/protectionist talking points wrapped in nationalism to disguise what they'd really mean if such policy were adopted.

While I may disagree with them, there are at least some intellectual arguments to be made for things like additional tariffs - unfortunately you will never hear them from Cringing. Instead you'll just get what is essentially boiler plate "buy American no matter how bad the product is" union propaganda.

Nothing I’ve ever posted has been pro-union.

I have never belonged to a union. Communist China is a union.

Nice attempted red herring though. That is the globalist, “free trade” talking point, is it not?

America first.
