I am certain that Ben Shapiro opposed Trump's investment in Intel in one of his recent shows. There are many more such worries on the Right, me included. BTW: Our main worry, besides the ideological one, is that the Democrats will use it as justification to it too. www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Ben Shapiro can only ever offer tepid criticism of Trump, at best. And Democrats aren't National Socialists. Republicans are much further right wing than Democrats. The Democrats would rather knuckle under to fascists than to share power with any sort of actual left wing.

You obviously haven't listened to Ben Shapiro very much. He's one of Trump's biggest critics on many issues. The Democrats are increasingly totalitarian. You probably haven't heard of the "horseshoe theory". The Democrats are power-hungry, and lack the guard-rails of Christian values of the right.

The Christian values of the right? Which guardrails? Pedophilia? Adultery? Do they welcome the stranger? What do they do for the least among us? Jesus says to love one another. Is ICE doing that? The GOP is only helping billionaires.

The Democrats are a right wing party who adopted the Republican Southern Strategy with Bill Clinton, adopted Reagan-era policies, and never looked back. Not much daylight between Obame/Biden Democrats and Reagan Republicans. I'm old enough to have watched it happen in real time.

Well, yes, they are both "establishment", until Trump and MAGA came on the scene. Now MAGA Republicans are pro the American PEOPLE. The Southern Strategy is a Democratic myth. Two videos to illustrate this: Why Did the Democratic South Become Republican? www.prageru.com/videos/why-d...

LOL, PragerU's little video is from Dinesh D'Souza. Please explain how the Democrats built a time machine and planted the receipts for the Southern Strategy all over the 60s and 70.

I dislike Candace Owens, but her video on this topic is pretty good. The Plantation: Then and Now www.prageru.com/videos/the-p...

Sooooo, you're posting antisemitic white nationalists like Candace Owens, who in turn preaches debunked Thomas Sowell "plantation" nonsense?

I already explained why. Debunked? How?

Claiming one party is solely to blame for slavery ignores history. Southern Democrats defended slavery pre-Civil War, but political parties changed. By the 1960s, Democrats led civil rights reforms, with many segregationists joining the GOP. The Southern Strategy was real. It's documented fact.

Equating social programs and schools in black neighborhoods with “virtual plantations” misrepresents both context and intent. Social safety nets were created to address poverty. This is propaganda from the white conservative opposition to social safety nets stemming largely from anti-Communists.

School-provided meals are lifelines for poor families, aiming to fight hunger so kids can succeed, not to “remove traditional responsibilities.” Blaming parents ignores systemic poverty and unemployment, which stem from broader economic inequality.
