    This fixation on China and how every single policy has be put into the context of how it will effect them is bizarre and unproductive. The leaders and media in this country seem so desperate to start up another Cold War.

      It’s relevant in the context that helping China is explicitly something Trump says he’s against. So the fact that his policies would actually help them is yet another example of him being an idiot and a hypocrite.

        When has pointing out republican hypocrisy accomplished anything? They wallow in it, it’s like pointing out to the pig that it’s covered in shit.

            All you’re getting from this is the satisfaction of insulting their intelligence at the cost of them dismissing everything you say and sparking a pseudo debate where you have to defend against a litany of half remembered talking points that they’ll never accept are wrong even when you offer proof.

            Better to just skip all the trouble and jump straight to calling them morons; you don’t need a database of articles for that.

        Depends. Are you white? Have you accepted the Lord Jesus as your One True Savior? Are you a man? Are you rich? Do you eat a lot of meat? How big is your truck? Do you own flags? How many?

        Satisfactory answers to these questions are required. Failure to do so will result in extrajudicial murder from a cop who needs a vacation.
