The latter are more honest and real. The former are frauds and phonies for the most part.

JD Vance is one of the few who seems to have figured out how to navigate it.

JD is basically just a figurehead right now, he's in good shape and there isnt much he can do beyond commenting.
He knows the buttons to push and when to push them, unlike most politicians.

The Chinese student visas go back to April. When Trump said he was going to pull their visas, China immediately said that they would quit selling rare earth minerals to US automakers. Which would have shut them down.
Due to bad domestic environmental policies, we haven't opened a rare earth mine in 70 years. While China has been going all around the world, locking up mineral rights.
Trump really doesn't have any cards to play on this one, and it sucks.
It's another example of why we should do everything we can do, as quickly as possible, to decoupe from China.

Big Tech is your future, whether you like it or not. Might as well get comfortable with the technocracy now.

I get that, but he has the right ear(s) to help get the buttons pushed. I'm not trusting he's even attempting to. Especially if they are trying to set him up to take over. He should have more influence.
I don't trust he'll do what it takes cause of his wife's family, his close friendships, and tech connections. Which is my biggest concern.
I don't want to just hear about deportations correcting Bidens rules, but I want to specifically hear about h1b and refugee visa abuse corrections. I want to hear about h1b tech companies raided too, and him coming out calling for it. Otherwise his pro " Western Civ." talk is hollow.

Understandable, but with every politician including Trump, you'll have tradeoffs and issues you dont agree with.

There is no “may be loyal.”
They ARE loyal to the CCP. They are raised that way, and make a pledge to be loyal to the CCP.
How many U.S. students does China let in? 800 is what my research indicates.

I totally understand that, but like I've mentioned, stop with all the "pro-Western Civ/America First" platitudes, if you aren't going to be guided by it. Just man up and tell us where your heart/loyalties lie, as it makes them look untrustworthy. I get that's a part of politics too, and why I continue to call him out for it. So people open their eyes too being fooled.
Growing up my dad was pro-W. After his terms, he wasn't as big of a fan, but respected him still. He lost all respect for the man when he learned that he didn't push the marriage amendment he ran on because of Cheney's lesbian daughter. That's not the way it's supposed to work, so I try to really look for those "wool over my eyes" attempts, and I see the potential here with Vance.

Maybe because she is actually America First?

Back when the DOJ was about to argue in front of SCOTUS, I said one of the top arguments should be how our enemies, ie CCP, are sending preggos here to anchor birth "Americans". This right here should be a reason we stop the practice. Don't know if they argued it or not, but they failed us if they didn't bring that home.
We are about to see millions of Chyna reared "Americans" come to this nation. They'll start getting into politics, and the white guilt crowd will fall for it. No doubt, in their long game, they have a plan to try to get one in the WH. If a city like NYC can be potentially run by a foreign enemy, then one day the WH and US will.

The reality is Western population collapse, which the declining rates of growth suggest is underway.
Unless you can fix that, there will be many cultures coming to the USA.

You cant because people who cant buy homes typically don't get married and have kids. At least the people you want to be doing that.

I always thought she was nuts.
MTG has always been spot-on. A lot of what people think about her was manufactured by the corporate PR machine. For example, the whole "Jewish space lasers" bullshite. No, she specifically was questioning the role of directed energy weapons (which are 100% a thing) in the proliferation of wildfires. This is something that quite a few people have asked about, but she gets slandered for strawman arguments.

There are people who talk about things and there are people who do things.
I can't figure out which type she really is.
