Trump has never disavowed Q.

Why is that?

Once again, this is why labels can be so highly misleading:

“Andrew Yang, the 44 year-old New York tech entrepreneur running for the 2020 Democratic nomination, has one distinction he might want to lose: He is the preferred presidential candidate of white nationalists.

“[Yang] is not white, but he is the only Democrat who opposes anti-white identity politics,” Greg Johnson, editor-in-chief of the white nationalist site Counter Current Publishing, wrote in a post Monday. “He is also the only Democrat who has talked about the problems afflicting white America. I will vote for him in the Democratic primary, and I will vote for him as President if he goes up against Trump.”

Yang, who has recently seen his profile rise with the help of Reddit and 4chan users, has denounced white nationalism and says it is laughable that they would be supporting an Asian man. …”

It makes sense when you think about it.

The brain trust of White Nationalism is excited about Andrew Yang because finally here is a presidential candidate who isn’t an idiot. Yang is right that he is the exact opposite of Trump. Many “White Nationalists” also want the exact opposite of Trump.

The fact that Yang is Asian is an advantage. He can’t be browbeaten and harangued by the media for being a “white supremacist.” He isn’t going to be distrusted by other groups because of their racial anxieties. He isn’t a jerk. He can focus on ideas and policies and attract support from across the political spectrum. In contrast, Blompf had nothing going for him but bluster and polarization.

We’re not opposed to East Asians. We resent the fact that OUR LEADERS don’t have the sense to move forward into the 21st century in the same way that China and Japan are already doing now. Both of those countries have embraced economic and technological progress while at the same preserving social cohesion and their traditional cultures. That’s exactly what we want to do.

What is the United States doing? Arguing over trannies? It seems like it is on Twitter all day navel gazing and fighting over identity politics and political correctness. It is literally being invaded and can’t summon the will power to build a mere $25 billion dollar border wall to stop it.

We agree with this approach to leadership:

There are lessons and principles that government can take from business – like treating customers well and resource efficiency. But anyone who says they are going to “run government like a business” is dumb. They require very different forms of leadership.

As a CEO you can pretty much tell people what to do. You are their boss. You are paying them. If you say we are doing something then it generally happens. The downside is no one tells you unpleasant truths.

In government most all of the time you are building consensus. You provide a vision and try to rally people around it. You build relationships. You compromise. You appeal to common goals. Things often happen more gradually. But when big things happen they can improve many lives.

We want Caprica City.

We’re more than willing to compromise and dump Conservatism, Inc. to get it:

Do we care if there is a Chinatown in Caprica City?

No, not really. In 2016, we inflicted Donald Trump on the country, a crude reality television host, for lack of a better alternative to Conservatism, Inc. to move the country forward.

I’m excited about this idea of having a vision, finding common goals, compromising and building consensus. We want the Legion of Builders and Destroyers. Trump never delivered on his infrastructure plan. We want Medicare For All. We do not want this crap the GOP is selling. We want student loan debt forgiveness and reduction. The GOP has done nothing about that issue.

We support Universal Basic Income. We support an end to regime change wars. We support deflating political correctness and hyperbolic rhetoric about “racism” and “white supremacy.” We also support an immigration moratoriam and building a $25 billion dollar border wall. When progressives have legalized weed, they might be more willing to compromise on that issue.

I’m willing to strike a grand bargain … Universal Basic Income and a national health care system in exchange for dumping political correctness and immigration reform. We can also dump MIGA and all the angry Boomers in Conservatism, Inc. who will be screaming about “socialism.” They will be the first in line to take their $1,000 a month from Yang and retire.

Note: We also need to leave behind stupid talking heads on television. The Russia panic illustrated on a grand scale how little “journalists” actually know about the world.
