“I’ll probably get canceled for this, but whatever,”

“Antifa wants you to WASH your PENIS”

“In this political climate, you can’t even”

They are so afraid, that they’re compared to a political party capable of killing millions (a specific obscure one from the late 1930s, early 1940s). The only people they fear to that extent is usually the DPRK. All I’m saying is that I don’t remember the last time a politician mentioned organized labor, but there’s a shit ton of fear regarding the blue haired college student. Organizers might want to consider this underutilized resource as a medusa’s head against opponents of labor.

    What the right is going to have to do is get more friendly with actual labor, not boaters or labor aristocrats, but actual minimum wage workers.

    This is the thing I keep thinking about, I tend to think that the right wing in this country is ascendant and will eventually overtake everything else but how are they even going to fucking do that when hating poor people is baked into their ideology

      T hey only need about 1/3 of the country to support them. Less if they have those in power behind them.

      That’s not hard when you consider not even half are Vaxx’d in america.

      No idea. I’m mostly going off what Matt has been saying, that the republicans will become the new working class party. Tricky to do when their base is boaters and labor aristocrats.

        I don’t see this being a problem. There are some repubs who are working class people upset that they aren’t being forced to work until they die of disease. It sure seems like there exist a hefty portion of the US who would happily march in contrast to their desires and interests. As long as dems act like fucking liberals you can be the party that owns the libs.
