America needs to decouple its tech sector from China and establish its own supply chains with the T12 or China will basically take over it and dominate the world. Not an exaggeration.
Now that Trump’s out of office everyone can freely admit that his efforts to decouple the US economy and tech from China was a good idea.
I don’t care if they pretend it was only their idea and not Peter Thiel’s and Mike Pompeo’s. It just needs to be done.
Thankfully Pompeo left a lot of policies in place that any future administration can run with unless Biden has some pro-Chinese voices whispering in his ear to repeal them.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to repeat anything Claudia Conway says about her mother in her attempts to MeToo her. There’s no evidence KellyAnne did what Claudia said she did and they’ve been nothing but abusive to one another for months. That entire family is dysfunctional.
This only escalated once KellyAnne lost control over her teenage daughter who would go on abusive rants about her mom, egged on by a New York Times reporter. The narrative was twisted to turn KellyAnne into the abuser when she’s clearly a mom struggling with a rebellious kid.
Yeah maybe she’s not a good parent. But I know a lot of parents who struggle with kids just like Claudia. It’s hard to manage any sort of control when there are external forces (namely a New York Times reporter) manipulating the situation. This is that times a thousand.
No one "pressured" the NYT to fire her. They made that choice on their own. The NYT deserves all of the blame for this, not those who criticized her tweets.
Someone complains, they respond, and then they say "look at what you made me do!" Somehow it's everyone's fault that she put out a dumb tweet and people responded to it. It's not the fault of the people who fired her. No sir. They were *forced* to do it.
I love this narrative that the New York Times somehow bends over to "fascists" and Trump supporters if they complain loudly enough.
It must make a lot of people feel like idiots for caring about liberties when most people, even politicians, couldn’t really give a shit. Carry on not giving a shit.
Without popular consensus you aren’t going to achieve anything politically. You need the crowd to give a shit. When it doesn’t you might as well quit.
And you can’t attain popular consensus without the backing of the media. For too long conservatives ignored the importance of taking control of the media in favor of boomerwaffen YouTubers and anonymous message boards who tell them “the storm is coming”. You reap what you sow.
