Do you think coal mining is going to be a growing industry going into the future? It is declining due to market demand. Trump promised to bring it back, at best he is slowing the decline of the coal industry.
Manufacturing has gone up in dollars produced, but they are doing it with more automation. I think labor is pretty even there, but to say he fulfilled a promise to bring back US manufacturing is ludicrous. Some of these jobs don’t exist anywhere (unless you consider a robot an employee).
It is a fact that many have lost insurance under Trump.
Only classy prostitutes. But to answer, I have more friends with college type jobs than without, but I still have friends who drive truck, weld, cut hair, janitorial work, etc…
My uncle was about to be sent to a labor camp for anti communist activities in the early 1970ies when he managed to defect to the West by crawling under barbed wire while being shot at.
He now lives in Scranton PA and will (again) vote for Trump because to quote an eloquent post of his on a family Facebook group: “(misspelled) only (upper case) blacks and (uppercase) communists vote for (uppercase last four letters) Democrats (four exclamation points) I’m (uppercase) white (three exclamation points)”
The man obviously knows communism and his opinion shouldn’t be taken lightly.
I interpreted his post to mean, “Those that like the West and/or were willing to take risks to escape anti-western places will be voting Trump.” Maybe I misunderstood.
I’m saying that having lived under communism doesn’t automatically mean one is somehow able to better discern the difference between a supposed crypto socialist and an unwitting tool of the radical left and Dona …I mean the hero of the working class.
Venezuelans in Florida are single issue red voters. They viscerally hate - and with good reason - the sociopathic bus driver in Caracas and have welcomed Trump’s tough talk about Venezuela (that it’s just empty words is another matter).
So to recap, they’re republican voters. It’s not like their mind antennae picked up the signs of an impending communist takeover ™ in case of a Biden victory that made them vote Trump.
It’s that simple, eh? I’m amazed at your ability to have your finger on the pulse of all people in all places throughout all eras of history. Or, at least, I’m amazed at the confidence with which you share this information over the internet. It’s entertaining and often informative, but c’mon now…
According to the article, a majority of registered Democrats in that population are planning to vote for Trump.
Of course, this can all be explained away with broad enough brushstrokes…
Didn’t you insinuate ten posts back that Venezuelan immigrants in Florida are somehow more capable of identifying the communist menace that is Joe Biden?
Perhaps it was their conscience? They couldn’t go through with the massive mail voting fraud planned for November?
On a side note, I know some Venezuelans who’ve had the good fortune to escape that hellhole. They’re understandably grasping at straws and Trump’s talking points and rumors of an invasion (thwarted by the Deep State at the last minute of course) provide much needed, if irrational, hope.
Also, they’ve got some peculiar gripes with the previous administration, notably that it didn’t prevent families of prominent Chavistas from buying luxurious properties in Florida of all places.
I work with a lady who is from there and still has family there. Her family hasn’t had any meat in 3 years. She mails them packages of food and medicine and they receive about 1 out of 10 of them. She wouldn’t ever imagine voting for a party that had a socialist as a viable candidate.
Well, that seems like a rather logical conclusion to draw (even if it is a broad brushstroke lacking nuance). I didn’t claim to speak for the population, however. I just found it interesting how heavily that population skews to Trump. Maybe that’s because they love Trump, but maybe that’s because they share many of my concerns about Democrat policy, rhetoric and violence.
Or maybe, like you stated, they are simple-minded single-issue voters acting in a monolithic block.
But hey, there’s still time left to sway that population of Venezuelans. Here’s Joe Biden, who is not a racist old Democrat AT ALL, expressing admiration for the Latin American community.
They really should be passing out MAGA hats to all of the Protestors and Looters.
Trump will owe a debt of gratitude to them all after his Victory. Maybe he will invite them to a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House with the Russian Secret Services?
Pressed further, Trump said: “We’ll want to have — get rid of the ballots and you’ll have a very — we’ll have a very peaceful — there won’t be a transfer, frankly. There’ll be a continuation.”
And there it is. The beginning of the end of democracy in the USA. Well, maybe not. Maybe just civil war.
So are the Cubans. Make no mistake, those who have lived under communism can sniff any semblance of it out from 100 miles away. At this time, there is no way in hell any of them will for for Biden. And they will take a bullet because they have seen and lived through worse. You cannot scare them with riots.
