>"Better in principle" but not in practice
I forgot that in practice too, but on a state level

>I didn't say it was an either or
You said you weren't fond of DEI either, which implied a picking between bad and worse.
Society that prides itself on "egalitarianism" is bad, because it's a utopian aspiration based on creationist tier assumptions.
It brings better results simply because it's a belief disproportionally held by elites. As a belief it's destructive, because outside of the naive elites, it fuels/is fueled by ethnic resentment. It too requires yes men willing to ignore that the oppressed don't share your utopian ideals.

>Trump's "yes men" are also very "diverse" as well, which is an irony in of itself
There is no irony. You see it simply because you've built a strawman.

> "Might makes right".
Might doesn't make right, but it's not feasible to have right without might.

>But there is nothing here about "reform" or "fixing" the problem
Yeah, I do kinda that Cofnas doesn't really much offer a way forward. However you simply can't not have elites.

>He is against Trump, then for Trump, then against him, then for him, then against...
Where is he for Trump?

>C(r)apitalism
There's simply no reason to blame capitalism here because the problems you're claiming it causes are either largely exaggerated or not real

>"Source: Heritage foundation"
Cmon you gotta have something better than that

@Aldo2 No, Spencer is either a glowie or a retard. I follow Cofnas.

The right is better on economics in principle, however the Republicans don't always follow RW ecomics (they like cutting taxes, but not reducing spending -> inflation).
FDR's term was followed by a post WW2 boom. Generally Dem or Rep in the WH has very little effect on the economy (unless he does something retarded like Trump).

>DEI policies are better than fake "meritocracy"
kinda, it's like saying shooting yourself once is preferable to shooting yourself twice. However you are presenting a false dichotomy.

>"without me, you will become cavemen"
the unfortunate reality is that this is more true than it is false. Power vacuums simply cannot exist. It's not about US being a good boy who dindu nuthin'.
And people do generally view US positively.

Did you read the article?
>depends on what these "elites" believe and how strongly they believe in it.
That's what Cofnas is saying
>is this guy against Trumpism
The implication of that paragraph is that it's bad. It's destruction outweighing the fixing actual problems.
>failings of C(r)apitalism providing for the ordinary man
objectively that's simply false, you have that in the article.
