He opposes property rights (except for himself), right-wingers tend to be property rights absolutists.
He is a vulgarian, right-wingers tend toward decency and often prudery.
He opposes the right to free speech encoded in the first amendment to the United States Constitution, and right-wingers defend the Constitution.
Some days he supports the right to private gun ownership, other days he opposes it.
He seems to support national health care, which is anathema to the right.
Generally, he supports a bigger and more intrusive government, the opposite of right-wing behavior.
His border control policy is short-term window dressing, not a long-term solution to illegality and the pollution of a culture of rights.
He supports high and punitive tariffs, which is a trade-union and populist issue, not right-wing.
Trump is attuned to his own shallow interests, not any consistent political philosophy. His views are consistent with being a dictator, and maybe a tyrant.
About 25 years ago I heard an interview with a black gang leader who said (in essence) "We have to be armed because our enemy the police are armed." The situation has not improved in the ensuing years. Any group with such a viewpoint should expect big trouble, and doesn't deserve public support.
White people being gunned down by the police seldom makes national news, and when it does it doesn't stay in the news more than 2 days - unless there's a wacko religious group involved. Differences include loudmouths continuing to push the issue and media bias.
A leftist is someone who believes there is no right to property (equivalently, that everyone should get stuff without earning it.) The country abounds with leftists
"White people should not expose themselves to the sun for hours at a time; it promotes sunburn and skin cancer. The risk for black people is lower."
"Ooh, pointing out a racial difference is racism, and all racism is evil."
There are correlations and causal connections between physical properties and behavior. Sorting them out and identifying them is a good thing.
When you finish abusing the English language, consider this: the "Black Lives Matter" movement is funded by George Soros, whose modus operandi is destruction and chaos. The intention of the movement is to make things worse.
if you're a male American citizen, you have to sign up to potentially be drafted before you can vote.
This is simply not true. People who register for the draft have no proof they've done so; the federal government keeps the records and states/cities handle voting requirements (generally proof of residency, citizenship, and age.) People registering to vote are not asked to prove they've registered for the draft, and the state/city doesn't ask - they've got enough trouble with voter fraud as it is.
The connection between military service and voting is rather thin, and for resident aliens doubly so. Voting should be for people whose primary interest in voting is the well-being of the country; if you're not a citizen of country X it's less likely country X's best interests are foremost in your mind. Mandatory military service is for emergencies, when any warm body will do.
But what lazy-assed devs would import an external dependency for something as trivial as padding a string?
Almost all C programs have as external dependencies many of the standard libraries. Many of the functions in the standard libraries are trivial. You seem to be proposing that C programmers should rewrite the portion of the standard libraries they use, each time they use them.
In a given technology, going faster means more power dissipated, and there's a limit on the temperature that silicon semiconductors can tolerate. Power management is one way to gain a little on the speed-heat tradeoff. It's more than PR.
They also do it to make other people look bad by the implicitly accepted immoral code known as altruism. This publicity stunt is part of an ongoing political attack.
Paradoxically, raising taxes is not likely to increase revenue. The higher taxes are, the harder people try to avoid them. Techniques include such things as deferring income, hiding income, leaving the country and changing citizenship. A favorite of people like the Clintons is to put money into their tax-exempt foundation, and then having the foundation pay for nearly all of their living expanses.
Furthermore, old-money millionaires don't care what the income tax rate is. They've got their bundle and can live off it; they don't think higher income taxes affect them.
The total richness of a country is a function of accumulated wealth, ongoing production, and the introduction of new products. High taxes on income reduce or remove the incentive to produce and innovate. The country as a whole loses with high taxes, and that affects everyone. The longer the time ovre which this phenomenon is examined, the more obvious it is.
The food is shipped in from automated factories. The manual labor required is unloading boxes and shoveling the mess into hoppers. Also cleaning and maintenance.
Automats were Kabuki Theatre, the illusion of automation much like Maelzel's Chess Player. It wasn't a particularly efficient setup; it was something of a fad. What it isn't, is a valid analogy.
People "abide by it" because at some level they realize that they benefit from it. They know, or should know, these two things: 1. Capital in capable hands enables the production that improves the life of others. 2. Once the principle of private ownership of capital is lost, everybody's ownership of property is vulnerable.
Capital is the basis of advanced civilization, and to maintain that civilization the right to own capital must be maintained. Lose either one and the other follows.
What's preventing anyone from breaking in to my house and stealing my property, that I have spent my whole life earning, is that I'll kill the person who tries.
look at Detroit. People there can't sell their labor, don't have means to leave.
The following are within a two day's walk of Detroit: Elkhart, South Bend, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Mt. Pleasant, Midland, Bay City, Guelf, Sarnia, Chatham-Kent, London (Ontario), Waterloo, Kitchener, Mississauga, St. Thomas, Ingersoll, Troy, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Fort Wayne, Findlay, Lima, Sandusky, Cleveland, Mt. Vernon, Marion, Canton, Youngstown, New Philadelphia, Kokomo, Upland, Warsaw, Goshen, Portage, Columbus, Dayton, and many others.
Bus fare to most of the east coast is under $60.
You're not getting away with the claim that they "don't have means to leave."

i is a vowel, its uses include "ignore case".
An estimate is a slight improvement over a guess, and doesn't have to be even remotely correct. So we can make the estimate, and it can be wrong.

Your analogy is flawed. "Black lives matter" is more like "Canadians need clothes" than "My wife needs help".

Lie.
Lie.
In relation to the federal government, that is a lie.
In some ancient Greece city-states, a person could be put to death by popular vote. That's democracy. It's not a good thing.

Take a look at the Russia under Bolshevism, where people were murdered to keep them from escaping. Production, goods, and services collapsed.
Without willing minds, civilization crumbles. Unless, of course, you consider starving in mud and thatch huts civilization.

Your argument is that there's always another sucker, and you think that's a good thing. That's not a standpoint of high moral character.

Just who the hell is "we", and how do you presume to represent "we", and by what right do you claim to have power over others who aren't "we"?
