I mean, not surprising from her. South Carolina has consistently had the lowest proportion of unionized workers in the United States. Like less than 2% of the work force, thanks to their anti-union laws.
To her, being a strikebreaker is a feature, not a bug. She loves making sure Americans stay corporate slaves. Boeing gave her a seat on the board for her union-busting efforts here but she quit a year later when they got bailouts (despite giving them $1B in SC tax dollars a few years before!)
So....Nikki Haley GOP affiliated party member, running for President of America where 95% of us live paycheck to paycheck, is against the working class. Us. We.
As is Fox News.
Got it.
Haley sounds like my grandparents' version of Republicans here. Punch down on the middle class, especially when they try to move their own ball. Which is, in a way, comfortable if only because it's familiar.
business is what makes america a can-do engine of progress and discovery, lighting the way for the world. there is nothing we cannot achieve if we all work together, except for one minor thing we are going to have a tough time paying any of you fairly thanks for understanding.
My buddy who works in organizing for the building trades said an internal 2016 post-election poll showed that like a third or more of their active members voted for Trump. When they saw that they took everything back to square one to renew focus on member education.
there’s a nightmare version in my head of trump/desantis/fascist candidate XYZ who leans full into vocally backing unions without adjusting any other thing and that’s ballgame
this but they're tearing down the whole myth of neoliberalism, explicitly saying that public sector debt is private sector savings, basically just doing a bit of an anti-capitalism alongside hardcore fascism
My bud said they all were flabbergasted when they saw that number. Like, "Of all people, him?" Believe he had open delinquent payment cases against him at the time!
It also seems the union higher ups learned their lessons, though, and made sure their members did, too.
I heard a brief clip of Trump's response yesterday; he claimed to support the workers, then said they were screwed because China was going to take all their jobs, then said the union leadership was horrible and to blame.
In other words, he was incoherent - but nonetheless the brief clip was *described* by the newsreader as him supporting the striking workers. Even though he opposed the strike. Incoherence and empty expressions of sympathy can still work, apparently, even with people who watched him do it before.
All of a sudden those multi-billionaires are having a "tough time". Having to ask the workers to bail them out with tiered jobs and wage cuts. I'm sure it was hard on them.

Those profits are for Wall Street and CEOs

Republicans: Nazis are emboldened
🤔: both parties are the same...
kinda kooky how things played out.
