Re: Woke up this morning ...
Not all the people who have personal weapons are deplorables and drive Brodozers over here. While outnumbered for the most part, some of us are veterans as well.

Here in the US, it is usually some self important clown who thinks his clever name is a warning to others.
But then once they post it becomes obvious they are neither clever nor important and the name is the exact opposite.
Like you'll see "patriot persuader" or some other nonsense and find out he persuaded no one and is not a patriot.
Mostly right wing trolls who then get offended that you have insulted them or their feckless leader by noticing they are dumbasses.
The orange turd actually spent lots of time bitching about teleprompters and went on a long rant one of the times his failed.
Maybe if his cult followers actually paid attention to him and not the sideshow they would have realized the emperor has no clothes, the Chinese crap he sells the rubes notwithstanding.
-Such hypocrites, everyone knows you just want American tech with all its built in spying capabilities everywhere in the world, and Chinese gear doesn't give the CIA/NSA/FBI that capability.-
No, the Chinese gear just openly phones home. Just like when I disabled the phone home ability of the companies NVR system and a whole slew of capabilities just did not function.
While I am under no illusion about the USA spying, at least they don't appear as malevolent as the CCP and disappear whole groups of people and the Social Credit system has yet to make an appearance.
Some have a different take. While they didn't get the initial billions promised in the deal because of non performance, they are still collecting and taxpayers have spent hundreds of millions that they will probably never recoup.

Isn't Foxconn the same outfit that has, on at least two occasions in the states, a history of promising multi-billion projects but then not having them happen?
Sounds like this guy is really like FloridaMan.
And before you argue those points-
1 Ask the citizens of Wisconsin how many jobs were actually created from the multi billion dollar tax break and infrastructure build out there
2 Ask Lordstown Motors how their partnership is working out with FoxConn
Dr Seuss Enterprises canceled those books and actually planned it last year, the "loony commie lefties" had nothing to do with it. People and times evolve, and there is no shame in rethinking things. Look how long it took for the Washington Football Team to finally agree to change it's patently racist name.
This is a Texas thing, they wanted to be independent with all the good but none of bad that goes with it. You really have to get into the Texas mindset to understand it. And being rabid republicans, I'm sure they will just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and somehow blame those damn libruls
Parler actively kicked anything to the left of Attila the hun. Hell, one of their favorite politicians claimed to be more conservative than Atilla.

To continue your analogy, say Mickey Mantle takes a bat to Carl Yastrzemski in the field of play. Now if your business model still sells baseball cards with Mickey's face on them you will lose the Red Sox customers and the fair minded Yankees customers who thought this was wrong.
And rightfully be condemned by Cubs fans too.
While loud, the basket of deplorables as they were once called, less than half of a half. And even then, not all of these voters are going to be onboard with overthrowing the government by violent means. They might not get to fly on airplanes as witnessed by the ones crying about not being allowed on flights home.
In the US these maskholes are a pandemic upon themselves. One of the primary reasons we can't get things under control.
Of course things do start @ the top and we have had no leadership there, with any luck there will be more people interested in protecting others while the vaccine is deployed and the US can get across the finish line.
So much this, you want to have your work done overseas, at least know what you want. I've worked in the US for bosses who had no idea what they wanted and then complained about the end results, even when you gave then what they had said they wanted. You want the big bux making decisions, then make the instructions concise and to the point. I've seen it happen far too many times that leaving these grey areas open has been just a way to blame someone else for manglements failings.
There might be some credence to the rumor that one of the reasons he's in the forefront of these suits is that he is shopping for a pardon. He faces several federal charges as he is just another corrupt politician in the long line of corrupt politicians from Texas.
But yes, he is not much more than a trump peenremora.
The boom was financed by irresponsible deficit spending and equally irresponsible tax cuts. Now that trump has completely blown the response to Covid-19 the magnitude of his idiocy is being shown. And while it may be fine for you to sacrifice yourself on the altar of the stock markets, some people wouldn't mind living long enough to see their grand kids graduate.
If he had actually made his "premium" clothing anywhere besides China I could see his point. The vast majority of his and his daughters clothing lines are made there though. We won't even go into the fact a lot of her stuff has been found to be knockoffs as well.
He is just another do as I say, not as I do clown.
