Everyone is rightly focused on his "low wage foreigners" comment but I'm infuriated by the "we're going to restore dignity to the working class by bringing back manufacturing." NO YOU WON'T. MASS HIGH WAGE FACTORY EMPLOYMENT FOR NON-COLLEGE EDUCATED WORKERS IS NOT COMING BACK. YOU KNOW THIS.

That's what annoys you? We all know it's not coming back. What I find offensive is the idea this kind of monotonous labour offers dignity. It doesn't. That's the big lie here.

I don't know who the "we" in that sentence is but I promise you politicians wouldn't keep promising it if they didn't think people believed it might happen.

The "we" in that sentence is the group of people likely to read your post, BlueSky posters. Politicians promises are pointless pandering to popular myth. Like the myth that work for a corporation makes a life dignified.
