Unions didn't learn their lesson when they voted Reagan. They won't learn their lesson when they voted Trump. I hate to say this but they're tradesmen and not necessarily critical thinkers.
Salt of the earth
Racism is stronger than unions it's what that means
Right, everyone could use a healthy dose of NPR right now. Russia absolutely beat the USA in the Misinformation War.

Oh, it is already happening. There are a LOT of these people in my part of the country. They are all fuming because their compensation is getting cut, and some companies are moving to Europe, in preparation for the Trump tariffs.
Are they connecting this to Trump though, are they taking the Trump flags off?
Even if they did make the connection, it takes more than that to break free from a cult.

No idea, but I am going to doubt. I predict it won't be long before this is Biden's fault.

Press F to doubt

Yay labour laws then.
Imagine being pro union but also somehow libertarian. Fuckin wild. Do they not realize that in a libertarian system anyone trying to form a union would be fired immediately?
Maybe they want small government...so they can fight the government with their union?
It's a bit like saying that you want to fight Mike Tyson, but only if you remove his arms and vision.
That's easy to do, it only takes 20 million dollars

This is one of the biggest flaws Democrats have.
They're good at getting shit done, but horrible at letting anyone know they did it.
So they fix something, give a speech that translates to "Political nerd shit!" and middle America doesn't care, doesn't listen, or worst of all.. attempts to listen and has no idea what is being said.
Meanwhile Trump does nothing, directly takes credit for a good thing that happened regardless of or even in spite of him, and then they cheer for it because they don't hear "Political nerd shit", they hear "I got ya a big one, there's never been anything like this. We won huge!"
And then they applaud because although nothing is actually happening because Trump is incompetent, they FEEL like maybe something is.
Look at all the people going "So now that Biden's leaving, we're getting more Stimulus Checks right? Cause Trump signed those and he's back" (Ignoring that that only happened because a pandemic that Trump worsened, and because Democrats in the Senate pushed for it), only for Newscasters to keep having to HARD Deconfirm that anything like that is going to happen.
Biden was kicked out of office and Kamela barred from office, because of problems that Biden and Kamela were both acknowledging and had already been in the middle of solving.
The dumbasses who think Trump's tariffs are magic spells that lower prices are going to regret the election....
Since I didn't fuck around, I'd love to skip on "Finding out"
Democrat's PR team is all Republican undercover agents. You can't convince me otherwise.
That makes a suspiciously large amount of sense.
"This is going to be great, say everyone who doesn't vote for you isn't black or is deplorable!"

There was a house like that at a town near us that has a cafe my daughter likes to go to. A giant Trump flag, a Trump banner on both porch railings, and a "Proud Union Home" sign in the yard. Made me shake my head every time I saw it.
I'm a school bus driver and we're all members of the Teamsters. Most of my coworkers are fanatical trumpers - in their universe it's the GOP who are pro-union and the liberals who are trying to destroy unions (and help the illegal immigrants). A few of the most fanatical trumpers are (married) lesbians as well. Dealing with conservatives has always been a frustrating experience, but at least they used to be internally consistent with their shit. This complete disconnect from all aspects of reality seems like the one truly new part of all this.
This complete disconnect from all aspects of reality
The rules they demand are only to apply to the out-group.
They need not fear any of the rules they demand, because they are part of the in-group: Christians by self-proclamation. Trumpublicans by self-declaration. Wealthy by self-declaration. None of that even has to be true, they just have to think they are part of the in-group, and they expect none of these rules to ever bite them in the ass. That is how a man married to a black woman can try and end marriage for couples with different skin colors. That is how a lesbian can vote for people that hate lesbians. Because they think it is not about them, because they are on the "right" side. You can see the very same thing in Germany, where one of the leaders of the popular nazi party "AfD" is a lesbian.
Should they not care about others in the same situation as they are? No, because these fuckers have 0 empathy. Zero. None.
The sad part is that in the end, it will come and bite them in the ass, and they will argue that that is okay and right, as long as it bites someone else in the ass even harder. And the guys who are the real in-group, the guys with billions to their name, they are sitting their, laughing about all of us because once again, they managed to keep us underlings fighting amonst ourselves instead of making ready the guillotines.

Yeah, the V6 in those traverse are garbage. Sooner or later that timing chain is going to let go and ruin your whole week.

The fact that both of those bumper stickers are on that car shows how much the Democratic Party has failed the working class
Assumes facts without evidence.
The influence of toxic social media funded by sources determined to be other governments suggested that even a candidate running on a humane law-and-order mixed ticket with a history in helping others and fostering opportunity and a proven track record in the field still wouldn't have had a chance. Because that was the ticket.

My wife was just saying what a poor decision it was for people to put political stickers on their car. I think it's a good idea because you can immediately size up the people you don't need to talk to.

What they're going to learn is that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans care if their families eat, and next election, it'll be 25 million who decide not to vote instead of ten, like it was this time around.
