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.

During contract negotiations 97% of UPS Teamsters authorized a strike. This was widely lauded as an impressive show of militancy. Later only 86% of the 58% of eligible UPS Teamsters voted for the contract, or a little under half of the Teamsters at UPS.

Now we are seeing the opportunist reactionary labor aristocrat Shaun O'Brien that they all fell in line behind show his true colors.
