    After the last 3 years on this forum it’s mind boggling that now it’s not ok to call out government and leadership failures. 
    we call out trump for leadership failures every....single.....day....
    That ... was ... my ... point.
    Is that a bad thing? It’s not like people are lying about him..
    No. But when people do the same about the Chinese government...I don't think they should be vilified.  Since, of course, it did start there.
    Words matter.  There's a vast difference between
    'I hate China' (which appears to have been deleted by the mods)
    'I'm pissed at China'
    'Is anyone else angry at China?'

    and:
    The Chinese gov't needs to be held accountable to for xyz
    And sometimes, while you may say it one way, it's pretty easy to see what the reality is.  I've said "F China" and of course I meant the government and those awful BC meat markets.

    Isolationism and protectionism are failed policy.

    The economy is globalized, and there's no undoing that. 

      I agree... Multi-National Global Corporations don't care about borders or where they need to go to sell, exploit, or destroy the enviornment  for resources to keep the cycle of greed and profit going.

    Logical deciphering of words would be a better start. The person reading the statement is the only one in control of how they interpret it, maybe you should choose to be realistic instead of jumping to extremes. butbutbut that is what my super cool political fraternity tells me to do...

    4 more years of him and we will be in a total dictatorship no doubt about! There’s no check&balances left that can contain him, he’s very much like a virus we have to protect ourselves from him and his followers they are a decease..

    He's not getting 4 more years. There's no evil Hillary to rail against so people dont need to try and claim that "lesser of two evils" bullshit again. If they vote for him this time, they'll have to own it outright. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    How about the rest of us sane folks practice social distancing and let him and his minions gather in big groups to rally around him! Let them all cough and sneeze all over each other! I wouldn’t go to a rally even if Jesus himself proclaimed it was safe..
