Trump is an adversary of globalization and it is globalization that is the world's biggest threat to democracy.
Globalization is a fact like the weather. We have international corporations that sell and make products all over the world. Trump and Ivanka make their overpriced crap in China and 3rd world nations as an example. Trump only talks about being against globalism. He knows better.
I can't believe how utterly stupid these Trump supporters are.
None of that made any sense.
History is replete with fearful statements like the above. "I can't believe how utterly stupid supporters of the World being round are; everyone can see it is flat" "I cant believe how utterly stupid supporters of the Earth revolving around the Sun are; everyone can see the sun revolves around the Erath which is in the center". State propaganda is as powerful now as it was then.
Hello Nordberg,
Totally agreed.
One only has to look at the satellite image of North Korea at night to see the condition of a nation being left out of'globalization.'democracy.

'Globalization' has been going on since humans began to wander the seas. If it were not for such explorations there would be no USA, land of 'democracy.' (Or oligarchy, depending on perspective.)
Slight alteration for clarity.
Are you suggesting that North Korea is a democracy?Hello ray9,
Did you read and agree to my PIP?
What you just did is highly disrespectful. Altering the quotes of another poster is not respectful.
If you would like to continue having discussions with me, you will go back and edit your post, leave my quote exactly as I wrote it, and make your own comments outside the quote bubble.
If this is not done we will not be talking any more..
Before I respond to your thread I would like to acquaint you with my Personal Ignore Policy because my rules are more strict than the site rules. Hopefully this is reasonable:
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
If this is agreeable then I hope we have many interesting discussions. If not, we won't be talking long.
With a chip your shoulder the size of a redwood anything can be regarded as disrespectful. Intimidating new members is a poor way to stimulate "interesting discussions". If we are done talking that is up to you.
Are you suggesting that North Korea is a democracy?
Goodbye ray9,
I see that the post in which you disrespected me by misquoting me has not been corrected.
I tried to welcome you nicely, but you have disrespected me.
You have not agreed to my simple request for mutual respect.
Your name will now be added to my PERMANENT Ignore List.
Have a nice life. I can certainly do so quite well without you in it.
Here is globalization a "nutshell":

You have no idea what it means.
Perhaps you could tell us what it means then?
Means nothing. Most of what Trump says is meaningless or a lie.
