Nah, it's another america is the problem and Don is merely a symptom thread.Sorry I'm late. Is this another "Trump is bad" thread?And to think Don had 2 years with majorities in both houses and did absolutely nothing about immigration reform.This is one of the major campaign selling points which Trump is known for if you haven't been living in a cave.As far a jobs and labor goes, I tend to be capitalist and favor innovation in the workplace, I believe on some level that individuals who fear "losing their jobs" are often unable to innovate, adapt and add more value to their workplace, settling instead for boring, repetitive work or labor which is easily automated, regardless of industry (whether a job at a grocery store or a "technical" job, such as translation work).
In spite of mythos of "puritanical" work ethic, and archaic ideas such as "working hours" being a measure of productivity, I view most workers as lazy and immoral, unconcerned with adding any value to their company, so much as only putting in the bare minimum required effort hoping for something in return.
Despite the romance of "Puritan" work ethic, the average member of Puritan England, was not likely a John Buyan, but rather an average man or woman, with much of the same lazy or immoral behavior as we see in the so called "working class" today, or the average sycophant of the wealthy, given that an actual "hard and intelligent" worker would be too busy so settle for sycophantly.
If some workers lose their jobs, "Trump supporters" or otherwise, this may be in part because they deserved it.
I'm certain you have a link to back up your claim...OR was this pulled from your ass?
Why do some Trump voters fear losing their jobs?
If wastrels who are too lazy or unambitious to pursue any line of work other than pushing shopping carts or waiting tables lose their jobs to foreigners, that's just capitalism, and perhaps a bit of Darwinism in action.
They'll eventually drift into outright communism, and start to believe that they're "entitled" to jobs by the virtue of being "white" or something, at the expense of more qualified others.
Most of Don's appeal is JUST that, "them darkies are getting your shit". What else does this economic system have left to tell them, the truth?
It's funny that the same people who complain about inequality also support mass immigration which drives down wages for everyone.
Come to think of it, what the hell did Obama accomplish in the two years prior to 2010, when he had both houses of the Congress on his side?
Whether you're man enough to admit it or not, Trump has accomplished more in three years without the help of Congress, than Obama did in eight.
That's the mark of a real leader.
