“In recent years, many have been critical of attempts to leverage TikTok in trade deals. Democratic Senator Mark Warner previously warned that treating ‘national security as a tradable item’ was dangerous. But Warner, and many Democrats, are missing the bigger picture. While debating Chinese government control over one company, the US government has been gaining control over others. … This is the Democratic Party’s fundamental problem. They keep attacking Republicans for positions the GOP abandoned years ago, while avoiding battles where the real differences lie. They fight mighty battles against the champions of free markets, limited government, and private ownership. But that Republican Party is gone.” [editor’s note: Capitalism and free markets are opposites – TLK] (09/29/25)
