A lot to unpack here, and you have to dig through a lot of platitudes and rhetoric, but damn, this is frightening.

I heard someone say the other day, that Trump wants to concentrate more on policy in his speeches and interviews, and just advocate for Kamala to speak on her programs and policies.
His campaign thinks the more she speaks, the more she scares the hell out of people.

Her goal to "grow the middle class" I know is a constant theme across campaigns over the years. But let's look at what has happened... There has been a decline over the last 50 years of the middle class. From 61% down to 50%, so where did that 11% go? 4% went to the lower income, and 7% went to upper income. That's not so bad.

Yeah, that’s one point I’ve brought up in several arguments. Her desire to grow the middle class is by dragging back the people that moved into the upper class…

I will engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation, because I believe we shouldn’t be constrained by ideology
Tell me that’s not enough to give you nightmares…

That, and how have the measuring sticks for that changed? I know you can make a lot more and still be considered poverty-stricken.
Look at the proliferation of McMansions and tell me we haven't progressed.

Maybe we need a colossal failure to put the final nail in the DEI coffin.
She could certainly be the anti-DEI poster child.
Of course the Chinese could come marching down Main Street before she is through.
They have probably already sent a few divisions across our southern border.
