This is HUGE! 🔥

This union worker for Trump was just shown that Trump is for right to work, in his own words, and admitted he would vote for Biden after learning that!

Make sure everyone sees this!

1. May it be so.

May many more people see the light before November!!

[rainy]

2. Biden needs to run big on union position. Lots of ads with him

on the picket line and Shawn Fain singing Biden's praises.

[Walleye]

3. It's so hard to persuade these Republicans they are so locked in on an anti-Democratic Party mindset

They have to be persuaded one at a time, and only if only if the issue touches them personally, and then they’re liable to forget by election day because somebody said Biden took bribes or something. Or sniffed somebody’s hair or something. And their macho buddies are gonna laugh at them if they find out they support Biden

[Bleacher Creature]

4. Biden walked the f?$&ing picket line with the UAW.

He's the most pro-union President in a century, if not ever. I'm glad this guy saw the light, but how did it take until now?

[MyOwnPeace]

6. CORRECT! And even worse,

IQ45 also 'claimed' that he was at a rally with auto workers - and THAT rally had PAID STOOGES holding up tRUMP signs - and the whole place was NON-UNION!

Seriously, what cave has this 'union guy' been living in?

[Wednesdays]

14. The Fox News cave, most likely. nt

[Grown2Hate]

22. I think a LOT like this guy pay ZERO

attention to news. If they hear ANYTHING, it's word of mouth, and Koresh knows where that comes from. I have a friend like that (unfortunately) that just remains apolitical, refuses to vote, and refuses to engage or follow anything political.

This is that "mushy middle" that just pays ZERO attention. The Fox News junkies and standard MAGATs aren't reachable (not without so much time and effort that it would make it worthless). THESE people are.

[mobeau69]

29. They get a lot of their information from the guy at the end of the bar.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. traitortrump is a scab. He's always been a scab.

[MyOwnPeace]

8. He certainly IS a scab..... and has always been one......

but he's not just a scab, he's a hemorrhoid that's been a PAIN-IN-THE-ASS to this country for too long!

And here is the "PREPERATION" that will work on him: Having his hair (whatever of that 'thing' on his head really is) cut in preparation for entry into a US Federal Prison!

[NBachers]

16. And here's the appropriate strike poster for *rump:

37. So True and Nazis are anti-Union

The German Nazis banned Unions.

"On 2 May 1933, Nazis stormtroopers raided trade union buildings throughout Germany. Union leaders were abducted, imprisoned, and tortured. And union assets and properties were seized. Independent trade unions were replaced with a Nazi-controlled German Labour Front, which served as a propaganda tool for the regime and its hate-filled ideology.

The Nazi ban on free trade unions not only deprived workers of collective bargaining and representation, it also removed a bastion of democracy and freedom that stood in the way of the Nazis’ total control over German society. It was an early step in their rule of terror and antisemitism."

Any union that supports Trump is ignorant and too lazy to look up common history.

[misanthrope]

7. Two things here:

1) Hardcore GOP and MAGA would claim this man was an actor and dismiss the video.

2) After AI video proceeds a little further, it will become easy for bad actors to generate effective propaganda. The doubt about the validity of information will have a destructive effect on self-governance. It could amplify the effects we already see of retreat to information silos and subsequent polarization.

[Bluethroughu]

33. Fact is Dump said that, years ago! Over and over.

It is him, and he means it. His flags are NOT made in America. He hires slave labor. His policies for Labor were non-existent along with appointments to head Dept of labor and NLRB that were Right-wing nuts that hate labor.

He's a f_$%ing scab oozing pewtrid inhumanity.

[tulipsandroses]

9. Every time a trump supporter says "He's fighting for us", I want the reporter to follow up with "tell me how"

Last edited Sat Mar 9, 2024, 09:35 PM - Edit history (1)

His answer about “I’m not a political guy” is so telling. It’s a damn cult and a bigoted one. Has nothing to do with him fighting for anyone. They like that he hates who they hate.

I don’t know how many of them are like this guy.

I'm a cynic, I think, even after understanding this, they would still vote for Trump. Then hope he hurts other people more than he hurts them.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. Good point there.........

heaven knows we wouldn't want to 'offend' anyone willing to listen to anything other than our lame BULLSHIT-BOTH SIDES stuff!

[Seinan Sensei]

10. Day-YUM!!!

Impressive !!!
Hand to God, I've never seen a MAGAt flip.

[Lucky Luciano]

21. Exactly! Responding logically to evidence is not their forte.

Hence, this is probably an actor, but still a good representation of how logical thinking would commence.

[aggiesal]

11. I keep saying, a union person voting for any (R) is an idiot. ...

Last edited Sun Mar 10, 2024, 10:37 PM - Edit history (1)

Sorry to be so harsh, but they have to understand what (R)'s are all about and pro-union is not one of them.

[Farmer-Rick]

38. Exactly right

Trump supporters are mostly Nazis. Unions leaders were one of the first people the Nazis captured, tortured and murdered.

When Trump is put in as dick-tatter, do you think he'll be any different? His father was a Nazi scum and he is a Nazi scum.

[calimary]

46. You're telling the truth. And sometimes the truth is harsh.

So says this lifelong union member (SAG/AFTRA).

[beveeheart]

12. Good to know. Thanks!

[krkaufman]

13. mind-numbing

Just mind-numbing how anyone who prioritizes unions could vote GOP or, worse, Trump.

[Lovie777]

15. shithole and the GQP hate unions.............................

[lindysalsagal]

17. GQP has always hated unions, forever. That is not news. What an idiot to not know that Bush was attacking unions.

[NoMoreRepugs]

18. Damn straight. Unions built this country.

[Shermanator]

19. NYC Union construction

I work in construction in New York City and there are a ton of construction workers who support Trump. Right to work would not change their minds because the biggest thing to them is the migrants who they believe are going to take their jobs. Also, a lot of them are traditionally conservative and would vote for an anti-union Republican over a pro-union Democrat because they know unions will be a big part of the city, regardless of who's in office.

[Farmer-Rick]

39. Well, when stinking Trump follows his Nazi inclinations

Unions can say bye-bye. Unions were one of the first people the Nazis captured, tortured and killed. Hope they like their beds sleeping with Nazis.

[mgardener]

20. Does he also know these things?

How Trump hired undocumented workers at his business's?

How Trump and Ivanka built factories in China, hired Chinese workers, instead of building and hiring Americans?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

23. That guy looks to be about 40.

So he was a young kid when our former union president Reagan, Republican, went after the air traffic controllers' union.. Others followed and the middle class has yet to recover. And to prevent that recovery they pay huge bucks to right leaning media personalities to keep them in the dark. Just imagine the amount of money spent to keep us ignorant.

[sop]

24. The point of belonging to a labor union used to be economic self interest, members voted for pro-union

Democrats no matter what their views on other issues. At some point RW cultural grievance replaced economic self-interest as the defining political motivation of a lot of union guys.

[Farmer-Rick]

40. Yeah, how did that happen?

Was it massive propaganda or dumbing down of education? Or was it that corruption was never prosecuted?

[calimary]

47. Both.

[NanaCat]

25. I worked in union shops for most of my working life

It never ceased to amaze me how many of my fellow workers were GQP. Always white men.

It was the rare woman or minority (or increasingly both) who was that bloody daft.

[keithbvadu2]

26. Didn't Donald give the Border Guards/Patrol a union to give them more power?

[Farmer-Rick]

41. No, that Union has been around for awhile

"The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) is a labor union established in 1967" wiki.....

[SouthernDem4ever]

28. I need something a little stronger

I work with dolts who think they are completely entitled to their wages and benefits that other people lost their houses for. Some don't even join or pay dues because they are so brainwashed by the repuglican party and Fux Nooze. For some of them it's all about the gunz. They don't care about anyone but themselves.

[hydrolastic]

30. In my union shop I hear things like ...

"Trump must be doing something if the democrats are going after him so hard!"
"Gas was cheap and my 401 k went up"
"Democrats are after our guns"
If I say anything against Trump they knock on the sources CNN is not a valid source. MSNBC is not a valid source. To them anything against trump is misinformation.
I did have some fun with them last week I kept reminding them how fragile amendments are if the 14th which is plain as day can't be enforced. One guy understood what I was getting at and said "They are strong where they need to be "
Another guy who has a bazillion kids loved it for the few months we had the child tax credit. He was telling the crew "it was something the republicans were doing" I straightened him out immediately telling him "not a single republican voted for it."
I told him last week "They are talking about bringing it back, "But oh yea your a republican and will vote against it !"
Its endless really, Its from years and years of indoctrination from the right. Fox News. Their feed on Facebook
I am outnumbered four or five to one.

[Lucky Luciano]

34. If that's who union people are, maybe I should be anti-union?! I certainly wouldn't want to be on the same side

…as those fucksticks. I mean if 4/5 - a full 80% are scumbags, why would I want to do what is in their best interests?

[SouthernDem4ever]

49. But these are people of the land....

You know, Morons! Actually saying 80% is a bit high. I would say 20% going by personal experience. There are still plenty that realize unions are getting them a better living - we just have to keep reminding them why. The only way I can do it is to remind them what it was like before unions and why they even have OSHA laws which would not exist otherwise. There are always some fucksticks that are too self-centered to care. I end up hearing them spew sovereign citizen crap and the like. The most difficult thing to get across to them is that "NOT ONE REPUGLICAN" has ever voted for anything pro labor or pro union.

[Rebl2]

44. Do you

ever say to them FOX is not a valid source.

[calimary]

48. But you're IN THERE, fighting the Good Fight.

Especially since they’re willingly exposing themselves to only one side of the story, a slanted propaganda campaign. If they CHOOSE to watch Pox Noise, I’m tempted to think they felt that way from the beginning and prefer Pox Noise because it reinforces what they already believe. So they get strength and validation that way.

There’s also the dynamic of “well they couldn’t say those things if they weren’t true” at work here.

THAT’S why we DARE NOT and CANNOT stay silent. And YES I’m SHOUTING!!!!!

[Bluethroughu]

31. I say it often and always to everyone.

[Cha]

32. YAY! I forgot

What Right to work entails? I know it’s not good for Workers!

💙🌊🇺🇸🕊️🕯️

[Farmer-Rick]

42. Right to work laws

Are designed to bankrupt labor Unions.

It requires Unions to defend and support employees who don't pay dues and are not members.

If you feel your boss is not calculating your pay accurately, and there is a Union where you work, they must represent your interest in the dispute, if you ask them.

You don't have to be a member and so you don't have to pay dues. You get free rights and privileges the same as dues paying members. By wasting time and money on non-members, the Union slowly goes bankrupt. And that's how Unions disappeared.

[Cha]

50. Oh wow... very well explained.. TY! Union members who support TSF better

wake UP!!

[masmdu]

35. Staged

[demosincebirth]

36. I agree

[Rebl2]

43. There will

always be union members that vote against their own best interests. My husband, before he retired, worked with people that only voted republican, yet they were a union member. Go figure.

[Grins]

45. "I'm a Union guy. The Union is most important..."

His words!

He opened with that, and when shown the position of the orange demagogue - and his entire party - ‘had to think about it.’

I will never understand why so many people vote against their own best interests.

Nice post.
