right-wing ppl who work normal jobs are complete freaks. there’s no way around it. you make $15 an hour and the thing that motivates you is your boss not having enough money? you’re cooked buddy

In the UK, if the system shits on you, you vote for the Reform party that plans to take shitting on the vulnerable to a new level.
Well, at least that’s what the traditional media will tell you.
i know 2 people like this, and the answer is that they are just Very Racist and will support basically any kind of policy that directly harms them, as long as it also harms a black person
I used to work with a guy like this. Loved Trump and hated his coworkers, who were mostly Latinos. He "joked" that his Latino coworkers were all going to be deported after the first time Trump won. Everyone hated dealing with him. Just a trash human.
There's a long history of this in the US. LBJ described the phenomenon 70 years ago. Yet when Trump came on the scene white libs and leftists insisted that "economic anxiety" was behind his support.
it’s this combined with swallowing the propaganda that they could be the rich CEO one day siphoning off all the wealth and dodging tax. which for almost everyone will never happen
Yeah everyone I’ve worked with like this are paranoid racists who are obsessed with thing being better “back in the day” before the snowflake libs forced people to care about each other
They believe they will be made the boss for voting the face eating leopard into office, not based on merit or effort but loyalty and the color of their skin.
They're right wing because the boss is a woman or non white. Or if the boss is white, they believe the boss is being held back from being a real leader because of wokeness.
They give the boss a pass because until white men control things the game is rigged so everyone should get theirs.
People just wanna be part of a gang, and gravitate towards the more powerful-seeming one because they get their sense of self worth from feeling like they are better than others.
This is what I think Progressives actually get wrong about Americans. They aren’t all destitute and financially betrayed by the corporate Dem party, a whole LOT of these people are simply sick fucks who just revel in the misery of others and Trump has them eating well and bonding with each other.
I think you're missing a part of it. These people have completely naturalized the current system and environment as inevitable "human nature" so that the only pleasure they can even imagine is the cheap thrill of watching someone you hate being pushed down into the mud. Cruelty but also hopelessness
I managed a Panera and the number of my employees who were right wing was shocking. Buddy you make $10/hr and the franchise owner thinks you're disposable
He would be mad about the policies that killed his wife, but he was only stuck with her because he didn't think she could get pregnant when they were both virgins.
ring wing people think they're poor because lazy people are stealing it, socialists are stealing it, chinese people are stealing it, and migrants are stealing it. No other reason, clearly.
It’s double think. One of my coworkers is a right wing freak, the laziest and dumbest one in the dept. She has a big problem with immigrants and is always making comments like “my husband said it’s the immigrant long haul truck drivers that can’t drive.” Guess what? Our boss is an immigrant.
And my boss thankfully has not heard the snide comments that we have, but I did anonymously report right wing freak to HR. Nothing has been done to my knowledge but right wing freak is about to quit anyways bc she can’t afford her mortgage & is moving away to an apartment. Thanks Trump!
I fled my hometown after one too many "actually, it would be bad for me on taxes if I got a raise" conversations where RWers in poverty wouldn't listen when I said they would literally have more money
I love when Street Fight podcast when still active and they would always cover how they deal with these people all the time. Guys who want to kill their boss and work at a business but keep going a guy like their boss should run everything like a business
It’s even worse when they work a union job, they bitch about their union benefits and pension being taken away then vote for the people trying to take it from them. Right wingers are the biggest morons on the planet
Propaganda works. When social class is obscured by a hierarchy of "Deserving vs Undeserving," solidarity becomes almost impossible. When you're willing to forgo better opportunities for yourself because "those people" will also benefit, the psychological wages are paying a substantial salary
have you considered how the people making even less are hurting your poor boss so you can't get paid more too?? imagine how bad your landlord feels when they have to raise your rent because they have too many esl tenants

The owner is stealing from you every second you work.
No shame, we've all been forced to be losers at some point.
Just remember that the next time you clock in.
Sorry, just trying to match your freak here.
That's why I poop on company time.
They give the boss a pass because until white men control things the game is rigged so everyone should get theirs.
My response was "Why do that, when China is documented as selling organs of political prisoners for way cheaper?"
We're both crazy weirdos of different flavors, I think, but I'm still right.
