The GOP is President Trump’s party. President Trump represents America. The Democrat Party represent the anti-American global elites. Any Republican in office (Mitt Romney) who consistently tries to undermine President Trump should be thrown out of the Republican Party. #Trump2020!
WSJ: Trump Is Converting GOP to Populist, Pro-Employee Party
President Donald Trump is converting the former “country club” GOP to the party of blue-collar Americans, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal:
By Breitbart, October 20, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementMr. Trump accelerated the movement of working-class voters into the Republican Party, creating a GOP that now represents more middle- and lower-income Americans … He has reframed much of the Republican agenda to appeal to these voters, particularly on trade, immigration and foreign affairs, in many cases upending 40 years of GOP policy.
In turn, the Democrats are increasingly the party of America’s wealthiest cities, post-industrial business leaders, and the “woke” professional class.
This political transformation, however, means that U.S. college graduates have few friends in Washington, D.C., to protect their economic interests in a shifting economy.
The WSJ provides the data:
The Republican Party now represents more middle- and lower-income Americans than it did a decade ago. When all the U.S. House districts are ranked by median income, the GOP now represents 58% of the lower-income half of that spectrum, up from 39% of lower-income districts a decade ago. And it represents 34% of the higher-income half, down from 43% a decade ago.
But the shift also exacerbates the average voter’s tension with the GOP’s wealthier leadership class. The WSJ reported:
The most ardent Trump supporters agree with Mr. Trump’s restrictive positions on immigration and his opposition to efforts to address climate change, among other policies. The party-supporting Republicans believe immigration helps the nation and that near-term action to fight climate change is needed.
The share of white GOP members with college degrees has dropped from 40 percent in 2012 down to 29 percent in 2018., while the share of non-college grads has climbed from 50 percent in 2010 to 59 percent in 2018.
The WSJ did not discuss the impact of this shift on many college graduate voters who are drifting away from the GOP because of their sympathy for left-wing civic issues, such as global warming, sexual deregulation, and pro-diversity policies.
But these college graduate voters have yet to find economic allies in the pro-migration Democratic Party.
For example, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for more immigration of “students,” which is likely a reference to young college graduates who will compete against American graduates:
We need a pathway to citizenship for the people who are here and here to stay … We need a path — not just for DREAMers — but also a path for grandmas, and for little kids, and for people who came here to work on farms, and for students who overstayed their visas. We need a path that is fair and achievable. Bring people out of the shadows. It is good for all workers, and we need to get them into our unions.
Similarly, Sen. Dick Durbin is touting legislation that would allow U.S. and Indian companies to bring in roughly 100,000 Indian white-collar workers each year.
GOP Sen. Kennedy blocks Dem Sen. Durbin's bill to skyrocket transfer of US college-jobs to Indian grads. Durbin's plan is much worse than Sen. Mike Lee's @S386 for US college grads & families. Part-Kabuki, but estb. journos act like frogs in a boiling pot. https://t.co/ZktjKG04MR

Meanwhile, investors are pressuring U.S. managers to replace many American graduates with cheaper foreign workers. On October 17, the San Jose Mercury News reported:
The San Francisco ride-hailing giant revealed in a California employment-department filing this month that it is laying off nearly 400 workers at its offices in the city and in Palo Alto. The filing showed software engineers at the firm were the hardest hit, with more than 125 people cut loose.
Meanwhile, Uber this year received federal government approval for 299 new H-1B visas — work permits intended for jobs requiring specialized skills — compared with 152 in 2018 and 158 in 2017, according to data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It is unclear whether Uber plans to use all those visas or when new H-1B workers might be brought on. The visas typically cost thousands of dollars each to obtain.
…
“When they’re laying off, they shouldn’t be using H-1Bs at all, or maybe sparingly at best,” said Ron Hira, a Howard University professor who studies the use of the visa by companies. “It runs totally contrary to the intent of the H-1B program.”

Agree. Re-Elect Trump again if America has to be saved from becoming another Left/liberal garbage country like EU/UKistan
Sharia Police in Uk are not willing to protect those who speak truth about islam https://tinyurl.com/ya6j3phj
Instead go after those who expose the jihadi crimes and oppose their Left/Liberal supporters !

Why are all polls now focused on ‘white people’ almost exclusively? Breaking whites down into countless subgroups. No other race has ‘college’ ‘no college’ sub groups… it’s intention is to belittle and create division.

Whites are still the majority with the most college degrees – divide and conquer.

Try to get someone you know to look at the actual economy and no new wars rather than blindly following the left-wing media brainwashing.

So you believe the Wall Street Journal to be unversally against populism, or opposed to the working class? It has been one of the few remaining papers with a shred of content that isn’t a pure insult rag.

Personally fitting into the so called Middle Class, the truth is there for all to see. If only those who support our 45th President were able to articulate better. It doesn’t matter if the target for the elite left are one race or another, rather they will keep drawing from smaller ends of the spectrum of real voters. The demographic victory they seek is a mirage.

That graph above is absolute proof that a uni degree is NOT an index of intelligence, but it is a ticket into the snowflakes club. Have a look at how many small businesses owners never had the time to waste on gathering leftist indoctrination at uni a they were too busy working for the family.. It is THESE people who are the backbone of the west and NOT the unions, the uni graduates, the political parties or the politicians and especially NOT the globalists.

Depending on their college degree, will determine how brain washed they are.

The unmentioned element is the millions of small business people who are doing well in the Trump economy as he reduces regulations and reduces taxes. Sadly, college graduates have yet to realize they are being replaced by compliant, low-wage immigrants that can be counted on to safely vote for the Commiecrats. Those of us who are active politically need to convince them to put aside their liberal brainwashing and recognize the Great Replacement is the goal of the Commiecrats, and a vote for them is a vote for their own impoverishment.

“When they’re laying off, they shouldn’t be using H-1Bs at all, or maybe sparingly at best… It runs totally contrary to the intent of the H-1B program.”
Like the companies actually care about the intent of the H-1B program? For many of these tech companies, they have people on the inside who are crony capitalists… so you see whole departments transform into all Indian or all Chinese… they’ll put out an advertisement for a job with “requirements” that no one can fill and then an H-1B “applicant” will have all those “requirements” but in reality they fill in the application with a wink and a nod to get past the inspectors… so the company appears to hire according to the requirement but in reality, these are just people the companies are bringing in for cheap labor. They’ll be used to replace existing workers. In fact, often times, the old workers will train the new workers to replace them. It’s all a sham!
