Any time you give a man something he doesn't earn, you cheapen him. Our kids earn what they get, and that includes respect. -- Woody Hayes

So once again congratulations on your .50 yuan. The CCP talking points you outline are bull$#@!. First guns and GDP are meaningless? Then how come the CCP bans citizens from the right to keep and bear arms and routinely touts, and of course, lies about its GDP. China only produces crap/junk the US can produce anything it wants and imports are only a fraction of the economy.
On the free speech front.. does a forum like this exist in China? Of course it doesn't. Could a person in East Turkestan get on and $#@! about Winnie the Xi or even use that term without facing arrest.
The CCP is the evil facing the word. It must be destroyed and the criminal occupation of Tibet, East Turkestan and Hong Kong ended.
The genocide must end, the slave labor must end, the threats to neighbor countries such as Taiwan, Japan, India and the Phillipines must end.
These are the real issues of the day. When the CCP falls America will still be standing strong.
God Bless America, God Bless Donald Trump and God Bless the free nation of Taiwan

Nah,
In essence, our poor are better off than the middle class in many nations.On a global scale, the vast majority of Americans are either upper-middle income or high income. And many Americans who are classified as “poor” by the U.S. government would be middle income globally, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis.
Yes, we have a lot of things that come from China. Usually, those are of low quality, but they're cheap, so low-income Americans can enjoy products the poor Chinese workers can't dream of owning.

Public platforms have a responsibility to keep seditious material off the air. Speech is still free on the streets and I even hear that YOU can write an editorial in the papers if it makes you feel better, but you can't cuss and call people communists and say that Trump won the election. What's happening is that the country is awake now and taking responsibility by shoving the far right BS into a hole so that it can be buried like cat crap.
