It’s not that simple.

This is what happens which RINO “free traders” sell America’s industrial might to a massive communist country intent on ending American power.

Throw out the RINOs. End imports from countries such as China. And start standing up for American jobs.

Republicans are every bit as much to blame, as Democrats, for what has happened. Perhaps even more so.

What’s ironic is, the process of firing Americans to export our best jobs - is what has changed the voter demographic and allowed socialists to seize power in America.

When Americans lose their good jobs to outsourcing, and end up working at some burger-flipping something or other - they stop being Reagan Democrats - and turn into angry Obama Democrats.

The problem is RINOS. And the problem is “free trade”.

BRING ON THE TRADE WAR.

The one thing that has caused the erosion and abandonment of American jobs is labor unions. There are many other factos but this one is the standout extraordinaire.

Sorry, gotta disagree. Free trade helps everyone. Countless studies across the ideological spectrum prove this.

That said, free trade must deal with two main problems to be a net benefit to us:

(1) Free trade with nations that don’t have anything resembling bare minimum labor standards is problematic for the short and mid terms. This problem eventually fixes itself when labor costs invariably go up as the cheap labor market prospers. This is happening in China, but it is a SLOW process.

(2) Unions create artificially high labor costs in the US, making us uncompetitive. Those same unions garner govt (esp donk) protection, invariably leading to a trade war and possibly a hot war. Every loses when this happens. EVERYONE.
