Trump 2024 — The second term

[DoggyDaddy]

Not how I read it.

I see the first as more of a racial/class question, and the second as a pro-union/laborer question. There is a big difference between the two.

Huh. I saw it as non-productive vs. productive. I guess it could go either way.

I think this is rather telling...

Suggesting that "people like you" aren't "American workers".

Definitely provides support for the swing state narrative in the Rust belt that union workers are breaking for Trump.

I will leave that to experts.

As I've said in the treads in the breakroom, I've been in the union for 25ish years and 95% of the Union workers I've delt with from all trades Vote Republican

You would know better than I so I will just ask you.

Do you think that is a function of where you live or of being union? IE ruralish IN vs Detroit, MI

I've worked in 6-8 states from Minn. to Ohio and from Mich. to Georgia. So a wide variety of people and locations.
It holds true for the guys from Detroit to Quincy Ill. and from Minneapolis to Cincinnati

Funny, I see few if any Trump commercials up here on the shows I watch. I do see a lot of Kami commercials attacking Trump. So when the commercial comes on about constant attack ads against her by Trump, I almost chuckle.

Up here those that have signs in their yards about being union tend to have D election signs as well.

Why, if so many union members vote Republican, do the Unions always support Democrats?

Union management doesn't care.
And thinks they know better than us.

How did the union management get their positions?

Bribes and kickbacks
For me, it seems like the (mostly) union members who vote D are also the one who attend the monthly meeting. They are also (not always) are the ones who play the union game and give all of us a bad name.
The ones who vote R would rather be at home with family. We're the ones who go to work everyday do the jobs we're paid for, to the best of our ability.
I've stated this before, during the '16 election my union (pipefitters) had commercials stating "were not telling you who to vote for, just vote"
This election (before sleepy Joe dropped out) the we're endorsing Joe, even though Joe canceled the pipelines, which employs most of the fitters.
I've had words with my BA when he would call wanting me to sign up for donations to the Dems
