Americans are mostly concerned with earning a living. Wealth is being concentrated yet most including Democrats aren’t concerned about that. The trade war is of more concern to the 1% than everyone else. Fifty millions Americans share less than a half of one percent of the national income and the top 1% take 25%. Changes in the U.S. economy are not nearly as determined by trade relation changes or tariffs as tax policy and wages paid by the 1% to low income Americans.
The top 10% pay nearly all of the taxes the federal government receives even though the middle class pay a substantial portion of their income. Those earning an average of more than a quarter million dollars annually have far more interest in global tariffs and trade than the majority who actually just experience economically what the rich want to hit them with to get their political support. The media reinforces the narrative the 1% want the public to hear and think about.
Democrats cannot be made to be more patriotic. They support loose borders and illegal immigration and that directly harms labor supply and demand negotiating on the wrong side of the labor equation. Democrats blame Republicans and white males for everything and Democrats have been reinforced by a judiciary that runs toward corporate homo hegemony policies that expropriated marriage in order to end the concept of nuclear families and hetero-reproduction so far as possible; Demos hate straight.
Patriotism is a concept rather obsolete for Democrats. Theodore Roosevelt was patriotic, Barrack Obama seemed embarrassed to wear an American flag lapel pin . Times have changed. Those without savings or property, without good paying jobs and so forth have a hard time becoming all patriotic or thinking about tossing themselves onto a live grenade to save Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates The top 400 that already average 315 million dollars a year increase their share of the national income even if Pres. Trump is jigging around some of their global capital shifting relationships.
