Just because you generally support a particular party doesn't mean you are in lock-step on every issue.
For instance, I am a pro-life Democrat.
Alan may just be a pro-free-trade Democrat.
A) THAT is why Trump won. The Democrats turned their back on their BASE. Their base was always- ALWAYS- the "middle class"/blue collar/manufacturing segment of society.
Why did they turn their back on them? Because their obsession with identity politics and selling out for the votes of minorities of ANY type drove them to. Period.
B) He wasn't a pro-free trade Democrat.
C) China has been tariffing our products for decades. They also make many companies that do production in China "partner" with Chinese companies so they can learn from us. They ALSO subsidize many of their industries. It was never free trade with them to begin with.
D) The ultimate goal of Trump using tariffs is to get China to drop their tariffs against us, resulting in no tariffs from either side. That results in the closest thing to "free trade".
That's also how Trump flipped something like 350 counties that voted for Obama at least once. He flipped like 200 that voted for Obama twice. And yet, we have the MSM talking heads screaming racism 24/7.
Da fukk outta here.
