@AverageJoe1 - which would be like we go to Cuba to visit right now.

Not a problem. Average Americans go on vaca to Cuba to see the oddity of it all.
And the Cubans hope and pray we drop a lot of $$dollars while we are there.

Does anyone think for one minute that the proletariat Cubans are going to try to convince American visitors to try communism in our own country?

LOL! What a farce. If the regime did not threaten people who leave, half the population would have left long ago.

Just when I think that I must be the problematic member of this forum, the eloquent Duchess sends out this missive. What in the hell!?!?

Should I rewrite the question? What is so hard about it? Republicans fare much more better than dems in family, income, well-being, charity, education and religion, to name a few. See the pesky link above, there are many of them. Thus, the basis for my question.

It has been shown that dems need us more than we need them. We all know that. So, again, we all divide up into two countries, as suggested hereinabove. How will the libs support themselves....that is, beyond a cuban-type existence? C'mon, Duchess, never known you to freeze up.

Here is one of the many links, you cannot deny..........

Did you see the classic lib-oriented answer to the question? From the Duchess???? It was no answer at all. Even if her ridiculous sentence made sense, it does not pertain to the question. I'd assumed she is some sort of professor somewhere!?!??! I would like to see one of these off-balance libs step up and say...'you've got point."

...and the other half would turn into a slum just like other countries.

I agree. Let's do that.
Do you have an idea of where the line would be drawn?
Probably 3 regions. East, West, and Central/South 🤔
The New California Republic will be victorious! The Mojave, Vegas and Hoover Dam will all belong to California!

Your original post was about immigrants and non whites not getting jobs and now you say they have jobs.

🙄

Take the percentage of each race.
They shouldn't get anymore than the number they represent.

You can't expect everything to be equal when we are not equal in numbers.

Duchess’ empty bag comments give me a lib-headache. Never seen her avoid stuff. May be an imposter?...

How would the non-Trump half support themselves? Or put another way, who would support the people that live in the non-Trump half? The 50% of all taxes which is currently collected from 1% of the population (the wealthy)would all disappear. Just asking, not meant to be argumentative.
Thought I’d bring this post back around, the weenies seem to be wetting their beds. I thought we could resolve this before all the Hunter action begins.

So what will the non-trumpers half of the country do when they need, say, a cell phone, or 30 varieties of cornflakes?

There's nothing else around here. Face it; Nevada and Arizona suck. We already got the good stuff in CA.

A handful of engineers in Silicon Valley is insignificant. Average employment rates are about equal across races:

Income, however, is not.

So a white kid makes more at McDonald's than a kid of another race?

Grand Canyon, Painted desert and the petrified Forest were nice.
I would love to live in Arizona or New Mexico 🤔
