It's BS propaganda. You Free Traitors™ always take the car industry and project that on the an entire $18T economy 30 years ago the auto industry was having trouble and unions were a big problem. That's over. Now over 90% of the manufacturing done in the USA is done by non union workers. 90%!

Same broken Free Traitor ™ goo flowing from your finger tips. A broken record, the same old tired song. Go away back under your rock.

Stop with the “Free Traitor” shit. I’m for free trade, but ONLY if it is truly free in both directions. If not (and it usually isn’t) - well, that’s what tariffs are for. I’m very much like Trump, in that I’d prefer free trade, but I’m not so naive as to fall for mere academic theories as a means of determining policy.

As for the auto industry, they did have union problems. So why didn’t they MASSIVELY shut down factories and build new ones in non-union states? IMHO, the reason is that they didn’t really care, they were fine with the status quo (which included paying huge dividends to shareholders, rather than plowing a bunch of that money back into R&D and quality control. Had they done that, the Germans and Japanese would never have made a dent in our market...we’d have been a constantly moving target.
