That says in order to participate you need to shift your expectations. You need to deal in reality. There will always be some manufacturing in the US but the economy is shifting and people need to shift with that.
It's a horrible truth, I understand, but it's the truth.

And people are voting for someone who said they would stop that. He won't, but they believed him.
That is their action.
How do you expect them to deal with their reality? It's pretty easy to just say "move to where there are jobs" but not everyone has that option.
