The C-suite long ago sold out the United States, shuttering factories in the homeland and gutting American jobs, while using the profits to push diversity, equity, and inclusion and the religion of the trans flag.
They have forged trade deals that led directly to the hemorrhaging of 4 million good jobs to China.
But as O’Brien correctly observed Monday night, that isn’t the Republican Party’s true tradition. There was a time when Republicans knew that American strength depends squarely on American workers—and their way of life: family, neighborhood, church, union hall. Ronald Reagan knew it.
China is ripping us off, and strong tariffs must be maintained and expanded.
Teamsters blaming transgender people, "DEI", and China for the suppression of the labor unions in America. Gives support to family, church, and Ronald Reagan.
Unfortunate. Hopefully his speech at DNC will have something redeeming (idk if DNC accepted him yet, but he offered to go to both conventions).
And for all his attempts at pandering, he got a really muted response from the crowd.
This "pro-labor" Republican stuff has no constituency, that is why it got a muted response. They like unions for the aesthetic of the rough trade guy, but in real life union workers could be engineers, nurses, bellhops, etc. What Hawley is selling is 50s newsreel Americana, though this shit might not work this time around because too many people for which that registered as nostalgia have died.
The only people that this right wing pro labor crap works really well on is credulous economically left media people like Lee Fang and Red Scare, who are on board with unions but are uncomfortable with the left's lack of racism.
