I know that you quoted Rubio, but you reveal the same odd perspective that he does. Big fundraisers have always been made possible by people giving money to their own causes, not to any particular party. The gem is that those on the left have been able to slander those on the right as the only ones who did it. Even two decades ago, big fundraisers were held by rich people who ran big corporations and were equally connected to politicians, celebrities and the press - because of the "fundraisers." Prior to two decades ago, all of that "culture" was long dominated by Democrats. The only difference now is that they are more radical, more bigoted and more brazen with their authoritarian plans.

The notion that the bulk of critical goods be manufactured in the U.S. is sensible and every Republican I know has always thought so, and many Democrats. The Democrat politicos now think too much of all the money they could make with their insider trading and the personal enrichment by privileged access to the Chinese market. THAT was unthinkable two decades ago.

The Canadian truckers underscore what used to be shared American values - our freedom and the dignity found in work. Those are conservative values that many Republicans and Democrats alike embraced. The left has always exploited both.
