I'm not a fan of leftist economics. Trump is. It's not complicated.
As you can see with threads like these where people just make shite up about me, I'm not worried about people thinking I'm white trash for supporting Trump like the people I referenced do. People are going to make up wild shite about me anyway.

It's not trumps fault you're too economically illiterate to differentiate free trade from adversarial mercantilism.
Tell Thomas Sowell he's wrong, too, please
Market manipulation and huge government spending is in no way "free trade". Major planks of his campaign directly target taxation, market intervention, and forced redistribution. And that's before we even talk about the legacy programs that do this which he supports (like Social Security).

College safe spaces "have been since forever"?
Calling college kids names for thinking differently than their parents has been a thing forever. I didn’t comment about safe spaces but I’ve also never seen or experienced one so I don’t feel qualified to comment on these things. For all I know, they don’t exist or exist only in obscure tweets that get posted here.

To the contrary, traditionally campuses encouraged wide ranging intellectual engagement.
This has been my experience, which is why I can’t comment on the safe space you referenced.

He isn't wrong.
I'm voting for Trump because he is clearly the better option but I'm not wild about it. But I know a lot of professionals who are the exact opposite; they aren't wild about voting for Biden/Replacement but they'll never vote for Trump.

Market manipulation and huge government spending is in no way "free trade".
(1) Huge government spending was economically unavoidable as compensation for pandemic-induced shutdown. Now, one can certainly argue for or against the medically-driven shutdown decision. However, once rendered, the economic treatment really is not debatable.
(2) Anti-free trade market manipulation by state-run economies designed to undercut, then monopolize supply was the target of Trump's tariff policies.

True, but annual deficits were increasing under Trump between 2017-2019 before the pandemic spending. He wasn't exactly a low-deficit guy to begin with. It's nothing like what Biden is doing but it wasn't great.

Exactly
Yes it spiked with Covid, but we had 3 years of data prior to that.

Just to address this specifically. And before Covid?

Justifying government intervention to help your political supporters is so very Leftist.
And I will just say again, Thomas Sowell agrees with me. Fully.

I've evolved on this issue and agree, generally, with Trump that we have to implement protective measures for our domestic economy because the other large economies we are competing with are not operating on the same playing field. All that said, it is definitely NOT a policy rooted in free-trade.

We typically gain a double advantage from this. Basically China is paying the cost for our consumers to pay less for goods (which means more money flowing elsewhere in more productive areas of our domestic economy).

And the proposed manipulation is to support his new carve out of the electorate (lower-working class, without college degrees, who want the inefficient jobs this plan would potentially create).
I understand the theoretical path/goal of the Leftism, but I just prefer the output and efficiency of the free path. A big issue with how MAGA addresses their perceived issue with the effects of freedom is the impact on their perceived in-group, which leads to a bit of hypocrisy. I'm not saying you are doing this, but the NPC form of MAGA does.
10 years ago when we did the "how to make it out of poverty" discussions for black people, making comments about not making mistakes that you expect others to pay for were common. Today, if you do this same discussion with poor white people, and you're the biggest a-hole on God's green earth.
The best is when people say that I hve somehow changed, when my statements haven't, but the targets have.

As it pertains to this particular group, that would be extremely difficult.

Dude, I personally have your overall ranking at #59 here just on this one board. Hope that helps to clarify things for you.

Two counters:
(1) This severely undercuts domestic production which negatively affects job production as well as product quality.
(2) It creates a severe national security issue when it comes to essentially things like medicine, etc.
