Might be my top choice. Not only the archaic elementary levels but definitely at the University level. Which shite the bed when the Carnegies, Morgans and Rockefellers poured money into the Ivy league et al generations ago.

Chris you’re on disability, receiving government assistance, you and your wife both received stimulus checks, you live in a Section 8 house. You are the poster child for a government leach. You have no right to be bashing someone for taking food stamps when you do yourself.

This sentence is a good example of a big part of what's wrong with this country.
Making generalized descriptions of vast swaths of people because they don't think like you. So you call them dumb hillbillies or snowflake cucks.

china is the biggest external threat to our country and has been for years. Unfortunately, we are transferring away from an administration that recognized that fact and to one that is in bed with china and is likely to cede even more to that country. Make no mistake about it, our country is in a cold war with china. It is a multi-front war that we are losing badly. Burying our heads in the sand to that fact will not help us.
I didn’t forget China, they just aren’t as big of a threat like they used to be

Can't just think militarily. They're wiping the floor with us re: monetarily as well as cyber espionage.

The concentration of wealth (and with it comes power over society and politics) in the technology sector is easily the most dangerous force in America right now.
Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. should all be trust-busted.
The concentration of the financial sector and their closeness with the technology sector is also concerning.

They are buying huge stakes in American businesses, influencing politicians etc. They are a major threat and they own massive amounts of our debt.

2) There is no longer any political support for the middle class. The Republicans own the rich, and the Democrats own the poor. No one looks out for the middle class.

That doesn’t make China the threat. That makes dumb arse american politicians and american businesses the threat.

The only thing Trump really did for the middle class was the TCJA, and it's becoming obvious that for most middle class non-business owners, the savings are pretty small.
He did push for 2K at the last minute in stimulus, if you want to count that.

Well, in a way. It's more Wall Street and the idea "shareholder value" is so ingrained in us (middle class) that we're fine with what has been done to our self-sufficiency. Also a decades old American business trick to lower cost of production for all of our trinkets. We can never ever get it all back at this point. Well, unless we invade and conquer China that is.

Agreed, but it gives a country that's not exactly our ally some power over our currency and monetary system

I agree that war (which I don't want) with China would probably be the only way we'll ever reverse this situation. We aren't taxing the rich to pay this shite off
