    Yeah and we all know the best way to avoid turning into a third-world country is electing some dictatorial douchebag that's going to try and copy all of their policies. Though I guess you do have a point, after all China is Communist and that means they're left-wing, and that's literally all there is to it so therefore political correctness => socialism => China, right?

    We won't turn into a third world country unless the Left invites that in through mass migration and replaces merit with affirmative action.

    Gotta love people whose political preferences are based on the desire to make someone feel bad. Sweet mother of mercy... Humanity never ceases to amaze me.

    If you bothered to study US history for even a second, you'd probably realize that just about all immigrants ever have come from underdeveloped countries. Or did you think that all the people who flooded into Ellis Island from 19th century Ireland, Italy, and Poland were leaving behind shining, modern homelands to live and work in the rat infested streets of New York?

    Those unskilled people should not have flooded into the US either. It should've been skilled immigrants only from the beginning. You don't get a right from two wrongs.

    It if had been skilled immigrants only from the start, then your numbers would have been small, you would have lost the Independence War and everything would have been different.

    I don't think that's enough. It's not hard to be an enemy to leftists.

    You say, that, and yet the only cohesive plan or strategy or organization that the Republican party has had in the past 8 years is "we hate Obama." Hell, they couldn't even throw together an actual economic strategy in 2012 for the national election when everyone was pleading for them and their VP candidate was a supposed expert on it.

    It is easy to see why so many Republicans got seduced to Trump. Because their current leadership has gotten them nowhere, even after taking Congress.

    Many right oriented minded folks believed in the notion of tolerance yet have been vilified and scapegoated. The tea party was originally formed to fight the corruption in the Republican party, they truly desired the big banks responsible for the 2008 crash to be brought to justice. It was co-oped into a crazy forum of guns and god/ anti gays, a true perversion of the ideals of liberty and freedom. Those on the right that think Christianity's days of imposing their morality upon the US stood up with the left in their causes yet still are labeled as racist, bigots, and the verity of ism that are used today to refer to "the right" in general. They are tired of it, and as such trump giving voice to their silent anger.
    "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not but common sense doesn't really work here. You're mad, I'm mad. We're all MAD here."

    I fail to see what it has to do with my quote though, nor do I agree with such oversimplification of any party's policies. I doubt you will hear from any Republican congressman anything like, "I will be happy with whatever makes Obama supporters feel bad". People who want others to feel bad and use it as a guidance in deciding who/what to support have some serious problems, I think.
