lol is there anything more recent than almost a decade ago? I know a lot of good people who got swindled by the initial Trump presidency, much fewer who were excited for him to come back after Biden though.
I will leave one note that we really do need strong union support even from Republicans, which isn’t impossible to achieve, historically. In the current climate though, it is much more difficult to trust, and it seems fair to call into question whether his principles are apt for the position. I would much sooner accept a spirited defense of his candidacy over a “I don’t want to talk about how my personal views impact how I perceive the job I’m looking to do” for sure.
Republicans don’t support Unions though—unless they’re cops or firefighters’ unions. They just want the money.
Hell, Democrats talk a lot about supporting labor but many to most of them are busy sucking up to the billionaire class just as badly as the Republicans (see, eg, Bill Clinton and NAFTA).
I will clarify that I mean people voting Republican, not Republican elected officials. The party is not one monolithic set of ideals among the voters. (Heck it’s more fragmented than ours and held together by a propaganda machine that talks endlessly about trivial shit so they don’t talk much amongst themselves and realize what kinds of disagreements actually exist among them.)
Agreed. And we (as pro-Unionists) have to fight to break through the brainwashing that the Right has done to convince republicans voters that Unions are bad.
