Oh well, whoever/whatever you get or end up with as a result won't be worth shit when the Left is done milking them for whatever they're worth today.

Past experience argues the opposite.  The last 1T had strong Unions, very high taxes and minimal inequality.  It was the highest growth period in the Nation's history, bar none.

I can easily imagine that if America becomes a dream like that of Classic X'er in which a culture like his prevails and absolute plutocracy stifles any talent not from among itself, then much of the creative talent and technical expertise will go somewhere in which it will be welcome. People who love the paradise climate of California would love the paradise climates of Portugal, New Zealand, and some coastal areas in Australia, Chile, Croatia, France, and South Africa. As someone who considers the Monterey Bay area a paradise of climate and scenery that resembles my image of the South of France...  

Lose the talent because you don't appreciate it, and you might end up with a great brain drain as Russia had after the Bolshevik Revolution, Germany as Hitler turned what was once one of the brightest lights of Western civilization into an intellectual and moral cesspool, and Spain after the Franco takeover.

China has been building large numbers of new cities that look well suited for people more characteristic of the American middle class than to people born and raised in China. If an American government makes life unpleasant for Asian-Americans, then such places might seem just right for Chinese-Americans who have assimilated some American ways, like more admiration for Abraham Lincoln than for Mao Zedong.

How do you not see the plutocracy that mainly exists on the Democratic side today? How do you not see the obvious morons and imbeciles who represent your interests?
