I have no idea what his ethnicity is. Is "Asshole" considered a race? Please note that the federal government defines race and ethnicity as different things. "Asshole" could be considered an ethnicity, but not a race. I only know this because after Obamacare passed I had to do all sorts of software programming projects to account for this.

Is it racist to call a 63 year old rural guy a pig? Asking for a friend. It's Porkophobic.

Maybe if he stopped a minute and thought about that, he'd realize it is the same kind of frustration and anger that has created populist sentiment. Yes because rejecting socialistic policies and globalism must be emotional and not at all based in commonsense. (At the risk of feeding the troll)
Hardly. But surely you have to agree that populism is all about emotional appeal, not all that much to do with some intellectual basis in free market economics or political theory apart from pretty highly charged emotional nationalism.
Do not pretend the Trump politics mostly appeal to some kind of thoughtful intellectual conviction. He was widely rejected by the traditional thoughtful conservative movement, with its intellectual roots in economic freedoms and main street common sense, as well as a long history of international engagement and creation of political alliance that fosters both trade and security agreements. He is no Ronald Reagan, no George Bush the elder either. His engagement with petty dictators and autocrats around the world as a centerpiece of his foreign policy has no basis in modern conservative thought.
Trump's emotional populism has in fact had greatest success in highly emotional appeal to disaffected and frustrated populations in rural America and the rust belt, where populism has always had it's greatest success in American politics. Oh, and he has had great success in the conservative religious community, where religious conviction is hardly unemotional, and really doesn't have all that much to do with socialist economics or globalism. The electoral college victory was fueled by success with disaffected, frustrated and angry union members who lost jobs and want government to bring them back with protectionist policies and government subsidy.
As far as rejecting socialism and globalism goes, moving toward nationalism tends to produce powerful centralized government. And the main way Trump is rejecting globalism is to reject our alliances around the world where commonsense seems to say having partnerships can be useful as he has engaged and encouraged autocratic governments and dictators around the world whose rule has little to do with common sense a lot more to do with centralizing government power. Embracing Putin while rejecting Western Europe doesn't fill me with confidence about his common sense.
If you want intellectual foundation rather than emotional foundation, you don't find it in populism, never have in American politics.

I didn't get passed that massive load of bullshit and and even attempt to read the rest of your moronic explanation. Odd how over and over municipalities and states run by "globalists" are the ones constantly facing financial crisis.

You mean the same way socialism is all about appealing to those envious of the rich?

"If this is making America “great again” then you can fucking have America. I’ll go to Canada and watch hockey. I’ve had enough of this shit that has enveloped rural America. "Does anyone ever say this, and you don't think " I wish that douchebag really would move to Canada"? To be fair, it's a huge pain in the ass to do that. Our government taxes its citizens who live out of the country. And if you want to renounce your citizenship to avoid paying those ongoing taxes you might have an exit tax if you're wealthy enough.
I bet a bunch of people who say "I'm going to move to __________" have no idea what the real financial implications are. The paperwork is also a burden. A friend of mine just went through the process and it was an insane pain in the ass.

Totally understand why you refuse to go on the record agreeing with the obvious, and also that you'd rather ignore and maybe throw out a childish insult when you have no other answer.

The only thing "obvious" about your post is you are a complete dumb-ass on every subject imaginable.
