Americans can certainly reshape their society to bring back factory work, but there are practical concerns here. Who are your buyers, what are you making, who are your competitors, etc. Its not all fantasy make-believe on the economic level. There are real economic laws that you can't break via legislation.
You guys want to compete with the Vietnamese? Fine, but be prepared to have the lifestyle $150 a month in wages brings. I suspect Trump voters aren't going to find that acceptable.

That's not the policy I was suggesting, but pretending that current neoliberal policies (that aren't shared by all successful countries) are the only option is both false, and the main reason that gave us Trump in the first place.
