“America’s progressives can’t give-up our dependence on China for so many items, because changing supply-chains, returning manufacturing, etc... would destroy Democrat-left-progressive rule”
The highest rate of offshoring and shutting down of US factories to China happened under the George W. years. I remember Rush and Hannity praising cheap goods from China.
I do not know a single liberal who wants to buy from China.
It is the elites and billionaires of both parties who want to keep trading with China. They do not give a hoot about the American worker.
IN a Bloomberg poll in October, 73% of American companies said they plan to continue their busines in China and I cannot remember the exact figure but 60 some percent plan on increasing their production in China.
Both parties have sold us out.
ReL China/offshoring, I don't know what Rush Limbaugh believed, but I will say - You mistaken to think that Bush and the RINO majority represents an ideology radically different from Clinton, Obama, etc... WRONG!
The Uniparty are ALL progressives. Their progressive (now woke)-liberal-hegemony is the unifying ideology of the DC deep-state. They fight over who sits in what chair, and who is allowed to skim $$$, but in the end, we remain on the same path.
I’ve been saying here for a while that the DC - Wall Street Axis sold out Main Street to China 30 years ago, and DC means both parties. Trump was doing what he could to reverse this, which is why both parties’ leadership wanted him gone.
