The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostI doubt the focus on sexual harassment would have happened with Clinton in office. The outrage at the way women have been publicly treated and dismissed by Trump, coupled with his success in the elections seems to have been instrumental in pushing that narrative forward.
Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostThe left has long ignored those badly impacted by globalism and changes in the economy, and Trump pushed that issue to the fore. There had also been a growing anger in what is now his base. Trump has leached some of that out, and there are growing signs this group is slowly realizing that Trump sold them a bill of goods. Not all of them, mind you, but enough.

Actually your entire post is full of bad takes, your ability to read political tea leaves are Bill Kristol grade awful."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

These people are insane. To deny that Christmas is a Christian holiday is as absurd as denying that Hanukkah is Jewish.
Nevermind this article promoting the lie that Trump has refused to condemn white supremacists, which is categorically false.
President Trump, August 14, 2017: "Racism is evil. And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, Neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.."Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostManufacturing jobs have been returning to the country. Something that the Obama Administration said was essentially impossible. But then they also said the days of any sort of sustained +3% GDP were over as well
Various articles point to various sources for the loss, but the two big ones that keep resurfacing are automation and lower cost of labor in developing countries. Automation is not going to reverse. It takes fewer workers, today, to create the same number of goods, and they tend to be higher-skilled positions because they are overseeing more automated systems. For the low-skilled jobs, there is simply no way an American worker is going to live on the kind of salary being paid in foreign countries, and there is no amount of tax relief or deregulation that is going to incent companies to bring manufacturing jobs to a country with a significantly higher cost of labor. It just doesn't work that way. So something needs to be done to deal with displaced workers and find them other kinds of opportunity.
As for the health of the manufacturing sector, it is not as dire as all that. Although manufacturing jobs have dropped, the manufacturing sector itself has dropped much less as a percentage of GDP since the mid 1990s (from 17% to 12.1% manufacturing value added; from 45% to 35.4% manufacturing gross output - http://www.epi.org/publication/the-m...acturing-jobs/).
However, manufacturing has continued to grow, albeit at a slower 1.1% CAGR. That's slight compared to the 2.3% CAGR of the overall economy, but that has a lot to do with our aging population, our high standard of living, and a trend (shown in other developing countries) to shift to service sector jobs (https://www.thebalance.com/u-s-manuf...utlook-3305575). These are not trends that Trump can reverse, no matter how much he waves his hands. The simple fact is, as a country becomes increasingly prosperous, it's job base tends to shift from manufacturing to service because those are higher paying jobs and developing countries have the low-cost labor for non-skilled manufacturing jobs - providing then with a path of begin to gain prosperity.
This is basic economic reality. The left is guilty of having ignored all of the people disaffected by these changes, letting them develop a serious populist/nationalist/protectionist mentality that Trump leveraged to gain the White House. Unfortunately, he did it by promising things he cannot do. Trump can bluster all he wishes - but he can only influence the numbers so much in the face of the realities of the market. It won't be enough to bring back all those manufacturing jobs. If he were smart, he would start to look for alternatives for these people, instead of promising what he cannot deliver. Meanwhile, while he is busily raising hopes he cannot meet, he is creating an opening for the opposition to come in with a very simple slogan in 2020: "ask yourself if you are better off today than you were when Trump took office."
I seem to remember another candidate riding that question all the way to the White House.The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

That's not at all what you claimed. You're just trying to weasel out of having made a demonstrably false statement. Again, here's what you said....
There's NOTHING in there about any exceptions. Just admit you screwed up yet again. THAT is the point.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
