    The trade war with China might be a way to assert US dominance and squash the competition, but in the grand scheme of things, protectionist policies are very bad for the global economy and global progress.

    And leftists typically are internationalists, putting global efforts above national ones.

    So it’s not just love for China, even if Lemmygrad and Hexbear folks are really unhealthily obsessed with the country.

      It’s not about the trade war, they specifically want the US to be destabilized with the corruption and unqualified nepotism/crony appointments.
