What Chris is saying as he still sits in front of his fame equipment that he did not lose under Trump is that he van no longer hire illegal immigrants to do his slave labor to line his pockets.
Chris puts legal employers out of business by cutting prices with part of the profits from his low paid labor.

What Chris is also telling you is that he does not care about all the other businesses in his area put out of business and the tens of thousands that were laid off because of the missing balls of his version of the Republican party and these fake pro-USA groups like the US Chamber of Commerce.

Chris is a greedy little sloth and does not stand for Republican values. He has failed us of the last 32 years part of which he said he was deep into the Republican Party. Chris is a sell out.


By the way, I don't know who named this a populist movement and got away with it. Trump supporters are not looking for a hand out from government or legislation that aides them. We are seeking for them to get rid of that legislation.
We want the federal government reduced greatly. Perhaps people should look up Populism instead of just repeating what the idiot talking heads say.
Tariffs were only to get other countries to play fair not to gain an advantage.

You are who your friends are. You said you are a Democrat. So is Chris.

Literally the only time I’ve ever heard the term was by conservatives as a reference to some alleged massive majority that agrees with them but mysteriously never shows up.

It was used a lot when it was true that evangelicals didn't go to the polls much. That changed under Reagan and the abortion issue.

But agreed, I have never heard any liberal claim that there was a large group of leftists who do not express their political opinions publicly.

Similar to Vegans, you never have to ask if someone is a liberal they WILL TELL YOU.

The phrase silent majority clearly does not have Trump in the name. Why the straw-man?

Yeah, it's weird that in a thread titled "The silent (maybe not) majority" that began with a video of a Republican repudiating Trump that I would bring up Trump in discussing the term. Why would I even think of Trump when discussing the term?

The word “majority” has a well-defined meaning and Trump‘s supporters don’t come close to meeting it.

Neither did your candidate

Nor should they. The only real “silent majority” is independent.

It was invented by Richard Nixon. It meant nothing then and means nothing now. He did win 49 states though.

It's 2020. The only question that matters is whether Biden or Trump has majority support.

Biden's at 51.1% right now in the 538.com polling average. That's a majority. Trump's at 41.5%. That is not.

The silent majority is about holding to a certain philosophy. Not a party affiliation or lack thereof.
