The facts are in as regards free trade. A recent study by Economists David Autor, Gordan Hanson, and David Dorn has confirmed the worst fears that workers had about free trade for decades. It has indeed destroyed America's manufacturing bases and caused economic devastation for millions of White middle and working class Americans.
The rebuttal frequently heard by free trade advocates that displaced workers can find work elsewhere in the United States does not hold true. Millions of jobs in manufacturing, textiles, furniture, and electronics have disappeared and workers skilled in those professions were not able to find jobs anywhere in the United States! It is one thing to tell a man to get off his a*s and find a job. It is quite another thing when all the manufacturing jobs are exported, and technical and professional labor imported from majority non-white nations. This is what our governing elite has done to our people!
Both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders ran campaigns that attracted millions because of their opposition to free trade ideologies. But the powers that be want free trade such as the Trans-Pacific Partership of which Hillary Clinton as well as Barrack Obama were avid supporters. Let us call free trade by what it actually is: Economic Malfeasance! Free trade may be legal and passionately desired by the powers that be but rest assured it will be strictly forbidden in the White People's Republic and its advocates prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law! One would think they would have learned their lesson by now and seen the folly of depending upon China for most of our manufactured goods especially pharmaceuticals and antibiotics in light of the Corona Virus.
