Let's see how the rural Republican strongholds respond when their local post office is closed.

I suspect Republicans don't realize Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid are government programs.
Or would it be fairer to say, the Republicans availing themselves of those programs don't realize it.

Let's see how the Republicans react when our infrastructure deteriorates and somebody needs to repair, rebuild, or replace it.

Speaking of education, let's see how the Republicans respond when students won't want to go into manufacturing for fear of low paying jobs, outsourcing, being replaced by machines.

Let's see how the Republicans respond when our major corporations are Chinese corporations.
First you move the low paying jobs to China along with the entry level manager jobs to China.
Then you move middle management jobs to China. Then you move senior management jobs to China.

Then the Chinese start their own company, with all this Chines talent you just trained.
Your greedy American company goes out of business, unable to compete with the new Chinese company.
