This conclusion is based upon what? Multi-national organizations have dominated international relations since World War II.
Based on usefulness and pros/cons. Multinational organizations don't work. NATO is completely useless since the cold war ended, and we are getting taken to the woodshed with the trade deals. We are running trade deficits of 800 billion dollars. Just Neutralizing that would almost make the government break even. We are much better off with one on one trade deals with nations instead of difficult enforcement of these trade deals.
Just because it's the backbone of diplomacy since WWII doesn't mean it's working. While we're at it, let's abolish the UN. The European Union is a massive failure in almost every way.

Well it is true that they didn't take anyone's job. They were willingly handed over in the one action that we were all warned about which DID create a "giant sucking sound" as predicted. And you libs still say he was crazy. About that particular thing, he was spot on.This, I think, is what scares me the most about Trumpism.
It's not that there aren't legitimate concerns with current systems of government, especially international ones, and it's not that there aren't failures that need to be fixed.
It's that it has emboldened a "dey tewk awr jowbs!" and "burn it all down" crowd that should scare the living piss out of any rational, collected, and red-blooded American.
I feel a sense of comfort in that.This, I think, is what scares me the most about Trumpism.

They would probably hunt down liberals one by one, and cut their heads off........and then clean up after themselves.You find a sense of comfort in the fact that the "burn it all down" crowd has been emboldened?
I see a lot of similarities between the angry extremist right and the angry extremist urban rioters. I'm sure that if you put 10,000 right wing wackos in a city, there would be some form of rioting.
There you liberals go again.......thinking that conservatives aren't very smart. Looking down your nose at them is what got Dems beat.
I don't know who the "burn it all down " conservatives are. You are either really young, or really gullible, or really dumb. I haven't decided.We were talking about the "burn it all down" conservatives.
I'm assuming they aren't representative of the more reasonable conservatives. But your losing sight of what was being discussed does give credence to any liberal feeling the way you suggest.

It would just look like a riot to you. It is called rush hour, when they all head off to work.You find a sense of comfort in the fact that the "burn it all down" crowd has been emboldened?

Oh really? Most of the "urban white collar workers" have moved to the suburbs. The Dem Party is pretty well non-existent in most of the country, except for college campuses, the western and northeastern seaboards and urban areas. George Soros and identity politics ruined the party.Not to many urban white collar workers stuck in rush hour that voted for Trump.
Nowhere close to senile. You don't do humor, do you?You are the one who said you got a sense of comfort from the "burn it all down" conservatives being emboldened.
Now you say you don't know what "burn it all down" conservatives are.
Maybe you're getting senile.
And if I had to pick one of the three choices you gave me, I guess I would have to pick dumb; but I'm thinking there should be a fourth choice.
