[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never liked Trump, but I also very much dislike the Democrats. It'd be too strong to say I was rooting for Trump or that I thought he'd to a good job, but I thought there was a *chance* he'd do a good job, and, for the sake of the country, I was really hoping he would. I didn't vote for him, but I also never seriously considered voting for Harris or Biden. I thought Trump's first term was at moments scary but overall pretty good.

With the wind-up, let me say: geez Louise this is going shittily. [/quote]

No one in my family who voted for Trump owns any stocks

For all the rich Democrats panicking today- you now know how it must have felt

When Jimmy Carter destroyed 400,000 trucking jobs

When Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, shipping jobs to Mexico and Canada, causing industry to board up in the middle of the country, left to rot

When he deregulated the finance industry and lead us to the 2008 housing crisis

And

When Obama told us: “sorry, some jobs just aren’t coming back”

If you see this post, I hope you look in the mirror at some point today and recognize the destruction your own party has played in the lives of working class Americans

This is what liberation day is all about

No one is going to weep for your stock portfolio

Where were you when we lost our American dream?[/quote]

I grew up blue collar broke in rural nowhere. Reagan was the OG deregulator. And Reagan fired 11,000 striking federal employees - and then banned them for life from ever working for the federal government again. Unions are the lifeline of blue collar workers.

And speaking of unions and labor, workers have a right to organize, but Co-Presidents Trump and Musk did a podcast together before the election where they laughed about (illegally) busting unions. Tell me again about helping workers?

My blue collar family has always been and still is filled with democrats because they know republicans cut taxes for the wealthiest in this country. And while they’re at it, they take away protections from workers. I have lost count of how often I’ve heard Mitch McConnell mutter the phrase “job-killing regulations”. You know what those regulations do? The give you a lunch break. They give you a hard hat if needed. They make the coal mines get inspected to be sure the silica dust is kept to a minimum so you can breathe. Or they used to, because doge is coming for that too, or haven’t you heard?

And while we’re at it, re: 2008 collapse, remind me who was in office Jan 2001-Jan 2009? [/quote]

Yup.  Great day in history.  Air Traffic Controllers went on strike and Reagan fired them.  EXCELLENT.

Even FDR didn't believe federal employees should be unionized.  That's how nutty the democrat party has become over the decades.[/quote]

You’ve shown your hand as a right winger and hey, fair enough. But don’t pretend your party is some beacon for the working class. Two billionaires laughing on a podcast about union busting isn’t good for the working class. Bigballs and company shutting down mine safety offices that inspect mines isn’t good for the working class.

God knows democrats can do better but republicans are far worse for working class people. I’ve lived it. I doubt you have.[/quote]
