I know a guy who wrote entire books about this back in the 19th century
Damn, how old are you?
Always interesting when people barely making minimum wage or on welfare think Conservatives are looking out for them.
Its the same as people who celebrate a job or any job like that is the end goal. Like a job is a magical gift that business give that solves all of a persons problems.
Does literally anyone honestly believe they are or ever were? Fools and dupes, I guess.
I think the funniest thing about the rebranding of conservatives as Working Class party is their strange definitions of thing. The article mentions a "workers organization" which is just a union but unions are bad. Same thing with a working class. This doesn't include retail workers, office workers, people who pick our food or people who make minimum wage. They do include Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Working class is pretty much white men who agree with me.
They’re producerists ([https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/producerism](followers of producerism)
Class collaborators with another coat of paint. The danger is that some of their ideas are good, like clawing back banker bonuses and sectoral bargaining. This can peel off the working class to support fascists.
No one is. Both sides of the aisle in congress would rather celebrate about one or two chip factories than to try and actually force American corporations to manufacture in the United States. Hail China it seems.
I always hate when politicians promote a single factory being built anywhere. It is such a nothing publicity stunt and people eat it up. I never understood why
They've never cared. How is this news to anyone?
Looking at what any politician is doing I don't think either party is doing great here. Democrats are better but not by much and it isn't a high bar to be slight better than republicans on this.
you wanna see where Biden stands on worker's? look at the rail strike. he's what the Pubies used to be.
the only thing trickling down ain't wealth.
In other news, scientists discover that water is wet.
In other news: conservatives aren't really trying to "save babies".
