And they’re offended at the notion that we might want to build things in the US instead of China, because that would be racist.

No, they're not.

I didn’t say everyone who supports free community college also thinks rebuilding the industrial base and trade wars with China are white supremacy. But there are enough people who do to divide the coalition and render it ineffectual.

On your side of the argument, you've marshaled Bryce Covert, contributing writer for The New Republic (I read it twice and I still don't know what that Zeitlin article was trying to say).

On my side of the argument, I have the President of the United States of America, and one of his first executive actions:

This is not a good hill to die on. Everybody thinks made-in-America is a good thing. Republicans like it. Democrats like it. Liberals like it, conservatives like it.
