They 100% do care.
Their plan is to kill it off.
...... That title is so typical of "Political" reviews. The actual Truthful short Title should be a pure and simple read like a Bumper Sticker and posted EVERYWHERE ......... "Democrats Don't Care."
.
It is worse than that.
Democrats and most republicans want just that, it is actually part of their plan all along.
“ The Republicans inherited them, but most of their strategists running messaging and campaigns had no idea what to do with them, at least on the national level.”
Republicans are just as bad as democrats. They are big time free traders and China lovers. And you might have noticed they fought Trump tooth and nail on the wall and China and the trans-pacific partnership.
Foreign forever wars and illegals are their priority
bttt
There, fixed it.
(Middle America Is Dying,)
All according to plan.
I saw what George W Bush had for priorities in 2007:
1) nation building elsewhere
2) illegals
and the whole stinking lot of political whores loved H1-B
Anything BUT Americans
Has anything changed?
No. It’s only gotten worse.
But the fools worry about pronouns....
Obama Seeks to Knock US Down a Peg
By Thomas Sowell, Monday, 01 October 2012, newsmax.com
Much puzzling behavior by Barack Obama falls into place when we go behind the image that he projects (”Obama 1”) to the factual reality of the man’s whole life and thrust (”Obama 2”). Obama himself is well aware of the nature and importance of his image. In his own words, “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.” An 18th century philosopher put the matter bluntly: “When I speak, I put on a mask. When I act, I am forced to take it off.”
Many of Barack Obama’s actions as president of the United States reflect neither political expediency nor an attempt to promote the best interests of the American people. Take, for example, his bowing low from the waist to foreign leaders. No president of the United States had ever done that before. It gained Obama nothing with the voters, nor was there any reason to think that he expected it to. Why then did he do it?
What did it accomplish? It brought the United States down a peg, in the eyes of the world, something that he has sought to do in many other ways. These bows were perfectly consistent with his view of a mal-distribution of power and prestige internationally, just as his domestic agenda reflects a felt need for a redistribution of wealth and power within American society. It is not just the United States, but the Western world in general, including Israel, that needs to be brought down a peg, from the standpoint of the ideology prevalent among the people with whom Barack Obama has allied himself consistently for decades.
Against that background, it is not at all puzzling that President Obama has clamped down on offshore oil drilling by Americans in the Gulf of Mexico, but has actually encouraged and subsidized offshore oil drilling by Brazil with our tax dollars. Nor is it surprising that he imposes draconian restrictions on industrial activities in the United States, in the name of fighting “global warming,” while accepting the fact that Third World nations that are beginning to industrialize will generate far more pollution than any restrictions in America can possibly offset.
That is another example of international redistribution — and payback for perceived past oppressions or exploitation of the West against the non-West. So is replacing pro-Western governments in the Middle East with Islamic extremist governments. Some people may have gotten focused on the issue of Barack Obama’s birth certificate because so much of what he has done seems foreign to American ideals, traditions, and interests. But birth tells us nothing about loyalty. One-time American Communist leader Earl Browder was descended from the Pilgrims.
Those who have questioned whether Barack Obama is really a citizen of the United States have missed the larger question: Whether he considers himself a citizen of the world. Think about this remarkable statement by Obama during the 2008 campaign: “We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times . . . and then just expect that every other country is going to say, ‘OK.’” Are Americans supposed to let foreigners tell them how to live their lives? The implied answer is clearly “Yes!” When President Obama went to the United Nations for authority to take military action and ignored the Congress of the United States, that was all consistent with his vision of the way the world should be.
How has Obama gotten away with so many things that are foreign to American beliefs and traditions? Partly it is because of a quiescent media, sharing many of his ideological views and/or focused on the symbolism of his being “the first black president.” But part of his success must be credited — if that is the word — to his own rhetorical talents and his ability to project an image that many people accept and welcome.
The role of a confidence man is not to convince skeptics, but to help the gullible believe what they want to believe. Most of what Barack Obama says sounds very persuasive if you don’t know the facts — and often sounds like sheer nonsense if you do. But he is not trying to convince skeptics, nor worried about looking ridiculous to informed people who won’t vote for him anyway. This is a source of much polarization between those who see and accept Obama 1 and those who see through that facade to Obama 2.

The politicians and bureaucrats are having a fire sale of America. They are stripping its assets and resources and selling what remains to the highest bidder.
That’s why so many of the “elite” are building bunkers or homes on remote islands.
Next, China can come in and Build Back Better their communist/socialists utopia.
Long ago I worked as an engineer for NASA. Imagine my surprise when I learned that my neighbor across the street is also a former NASA engineer! He's done amazing things renovating his home.
The young people around here are amazing too. I would adopt them all if I could.
Basically, the GOP has given up on places like Weirton and Youngstown because they recognize that these places can’t be fixed. As one guy from the area told me several years ago: “The industrial base in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania and the West Virginia panhandle wasn’t decimated by ‘globalism.’ It simply got old and outdated, and then it was moved to places like Arkansas and Texas.”
He used Middletown, in western Ohio, as an example of everything that’s wrong across much of the Rust Belt. That town once had (and may still have) a reputation as the fentanyl capital of the U.S., with all the hallmarks of a fading Rust Belt town. And yet if you go just a few miles away into eastern Indiana you will find thriving towns with growing industries that support plenty of blue-collar jobs. As this guy admitted with great disappointment: “These industrial towns are dying because Ohio and West Virginia and Pennsylvania are terrible states for manufacturing companies to do business.”
There plan is to eliminate us
Only Obama can make LBJ look like the best President for Black Americans.
Martin and Malcolm tried to warn them, they etc.
I spent some time in a dying factory town in PA. The older people were the most welcoming Generous, helpful people I have ever met. 60 years ago that town must have been a wonder.
There is a major drug problem among the young. The first hints of black and Hispanic flashy young outsider men to take over the drug trade.
And the health care system there slow-walked my friend’s cancer diagnosis. Two months from first diagnostic scan to seeing oncologist. He lives in another state, rides a circuit, in town.once every week or two. They could have told my friend she needed to go to the big city, and they didn’t.
They voted for Joe Manchin and they are now reaping the reward.
