  1. What the (so-called) left is better at is demagoguing an issue. "People who oppose this legislation don't care about the poor." Well, we care about the poor, but we don't think the federal government is the means by which we can best help. That requires nuance. That requires explaining effects on the populations being helped in that particular way, and the creeping authoritarianism that always emerges in the bureaucracies administering the assistance. They have no interest in actually solving poverty, because that poverty means JOBS and AUTHORITY for the bureaucrat class. See? Look how long that took. And it would take hours of history to bring somebody up to speed. I think that's why the left HATES Donald Trump. He reduces a complex argument such as I failed to make, above, to "These are not nice people. Not nice. Not nice at all." That's the kind of speech that the masses can understand. "Look at what's happening on our border. Terrible. Human trafficking. Drugs. Just terrible." It's infuriating to the left. They can see what he's doing, because it's what THEY do. It's the one thing the Republicans and libertarians have been bad at, because the best of them are HONEST, and don't stoop to making simple-minded, populist arguments.
