Oliver Koehn (As I Thinketh)

McKinley was one of the best presidents not just because he reunited North and South, but because he understood the nature of trade and the reason why free trade is terrible As he put it in 1890: "Cheap merchandise means cheap men, and cheap men mean a cheap country." Indeed. All else being equal, Walmart selling cheap toys and so on is better. But all else is never equal. What those cheap goods mean is the decimation of industry, the hollowing out of our industrial competence, the slide from a focus on quality and value creation to making things cheap above all else--with the shodiness, planned obsolescence, and everything else inherent to that, and a crash in the sort of gainfully employed people who have work and can buy the goods in the first place So long as there aren't captive markets, protected markets allow American business owners to utilize the immense pool of talented human capital in America to build great things their workers can afford, which in turn means property rights as more secure as there is much less impetus for revolution. That is why McKinley fought as hard as he did, and the sort of America he created contrasts quite strongly with England and its perpetual throes of class conflict once the Manchester School of Free Trade Liberalism won out

What would Democrat victory mean? Mass Migration and Amnesty. Millions upon millions of newly minted leftist voters overwhelming the American people Would that happen with midterms? No. But if they win these seats now…and we lose in 2028…America is over, one way or another. It cannot survive the hordes of the favelas being “made” “Americans”, for that will turn us into Brazil, and the numbers will be overwhelming Make sure to vote
