Even the teamsters are showing up.
You know who the Nazis came for first, right?
Hint, it wasn’t the Jews. It wasn’t the gays. It wasn’t the Roma. It was the trade unionists.
There’s going to be some serious leopard/face moments for this fellow and his supporters should Trump win.
That’s why he’s talking at the convention. He is tired of the Nazi democrats.
Jd Vance supports unions. Remember Biden wouldn’t even let the rail workers strike.
He’s delusional if he thinks that a Republican administration wouldn’t be multiple times worse, and Vance has about as much conviction as a weathercock.
I’m reminded of Democrats that plan to sit out this election because of their party’s failure on Palestine. Motherfucker, do you think Donald “bomb them back to the Stone Age” Trump, the man Netanyahu prefers, is a better choice?
I’m reminded of Democrats that plan to sit our t because of their party’s failure on Palestine. Nobody should sit this out.
I strongly encourage everyone to vote for the person they think would be best for the country. It is how we shape our nation through voting.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
You’ve got to be pretty goddamn stupid to think Nazis are leftists.

Jim Crow was created by democrats.

I think I’ll take the word of historians over convicted fraud and “2000 Mules” propagandist Dinesh D’Souza.

Jim Crow was created by regressives. These were previously mostly Dem but after the deliberate Southern Strategy are mostly Repub.

100% agree, thinking I’ll deprogram a brainwashing victim with some internet comments would be delusional.
I just don’t want to see anyone sourcing Dinesh as suggested reading without pushback. I don’t want a low information individual to get sucked in by far-right propaganda.
I wasn’t intending to criticize you, I get it.
Just wanted to add some context.
hese were previously mostly Dem but after the deliberate Southern Strategy are mostly Repub. Are? Jim Crow was removed a long time ago and Republicans voted for it 80% vs 61% for the Democrats.
Republicans have always been about equality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964
Jim Crow was just Democratic politics and is still their politics.
Southern Strategy.
Jim Crow was by regressives. The same regressives opposed civil rights. And those same regressives today are in a cult formed around Donald.
Regressives today are still opposed to the civil rights movement.
Lincoln would be appalled to find that the Republicans of today are in fact the regressives he had to fight a war against.
Here is a partial list of racists democrats that voted against the civil rights act of 1964 ( there were alot of dems that voted no and I got lazy)and when they stopped being reps/senators. If the parties switched these guys wouldn’t be representing the racists democrats up to 2010.
George William Andrews 1972 Robert Emmett Jones 1972 Armistead Selden 1968 Wilbur Mills 1976 James Trimble 1966 Robert Sikes 1978 Charles Edward Bennett 1992 Dante Fascell 1992 Paul Rogers 1978 Don Fuqua 1986 Sam Gibbons 1996 George Hagan 1972 Phillip Landrum 1976 Robert Stephens 1976 William Natcher 1994 Joseph Waggonner 1978 Otto Passman 1976 Gillis Long 1986 Jamie Whitten 1994 Lawrence Fountain 1982 David Newton Henderson 1976 Roy Taylor 1976 Joseph Evins 1976 John Patman 1976 Herbert Roberts 1980 Olin Teague 1978 William Poage 1978 James Claude Wright 1989 Robert Byrd 2010 James Eastland 1978 Sam Ervin 1974 Russell B. Long 1987 John L. McClellan 1977 John Jackson Sparkman 1979 John C. Stennis 1989 Herman Talmadge 1981
Not at all. Those same people stayed with the democrats. It is not republicans who are trying to classify everyone and put them into groups for different treatment. That’s the racism still alive and well in the democrat party. Biden didn’t want his kids going to a racial jungle.
Trump has never said anything crazy like that.
And Lincoln hated conservatives.
It’s hilarious that you want me to read “the truth” by a convicted fraudster and conspiracy theorist.
Also, you didn’t address what I said because you know I’m right and you’re an intellectual coward. So which is it?
You’re beyond parody.
Since Lincoln was a conservative. I’d love to see where you get that idea. He hated democrats.
But you say you are conservative—eminently conservative—while we are revolutionary, destructive, or something of the sort. What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried? We stick to, contend for, the identical old policy on the point in controversy which was adopted by “our fathers who framed the Government under which we live”; while you with one accord reject, and scout, and spit upon that old policy, and insist upon substituting something new. True, you disagree among yourselves as to what that substitute shall be. You are divided on new propositions and plans, but you are unanimous in rejecting and denouncing the old policy of the fathers. Some of you are for reviving the foreign slave trade; some for a Congressional Slave-Code for the Territories; some for Congress forbidding the Territories to prohibit Slavery within their limits; some for maintaining Slavery in the Territories through the judiciary; some for the “gur-reat pur-rinciple” that “if one man would enslave another, no third man should object”, fantastically called “Popular Sovereignty”; but never a man among you is in favor of federal prohibition of slavery in federal territories, according to the practice of “our fathers who framed the Government under which we live”. Not one of all your various plans can show a precedent or an advocate in the century within which our Government originated. Consider, then, whether your claim of conservatism for yourselves, and your charge of destructiveness against us, are based on the most clear and stable foundations.
Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed. There is a judgment and a feeling against slavery in this nation, which cast at least a million and a half of votes. You cannot destroy that judgment and feeling—that sentiment—by breaking up the political organization which rallies around it. You can scarcely scatter and disperse an army which has been formed into order in the face of your heaviest fire; but if you could, how much would you gain by forcing the sentiment which created it out of the peaceful channel of the ballot-box, into some other channel?
Read a goddamn book
Did you ever read that? Nowhere does he say he hates Conservatives. He’s talking about slavery.
Lincoln is a well known conservative
I hear Trump is pro-gun control now.
That appears to be false. Trump did try to ban bump stocks, which I supported.
Did you support the bump sticks or the ban on them?
I support the ban. Stocks are not a firearm. They do not turn the weapon into a machine gun by definition. That’s why they were overturned. Congress would have to create a law to ban them. I agree with the scotus ruling.
I just wouldn’t have an issue if Congress banned them.
You support the ban but you support the SCOTUS ruling to overturn the ban that you support?
You sure are the agreeable type.
The ban referenced it as a machine gun. It’s not under the law. Therefore Congress has to create a law to ban. Just because I agree they should be banned doesn’t mean I’ll support illegally doing it.
Down voted for stating plain facts. Love this place.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Also Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk, the anti-union Tesla boss who has endorsed Trump, would be showering a pro-Trump super PAC with $45 million per month in cash.
But it is notable, as O’Brien pointed out, that a handful of Republican senators, including Trump’s new running mate Sen. JD Vance, have joined picket lines in recent years.
Vance and other Republican senators, however, oppose the Democrats’ proposal to pass a nationwide law, the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, supported by labor unions including the Teamsters.
If there was an overriding theme in speeches at the first night of the Republican convention, which were supposed to focus on Make America Wealthy Again, it was an anti-corporate and anti-elitist message, with frequent mentions of helping workers.
In a nod to that episode, O’Brien namechecked Mullin and said he was paraphrasing the senator with this line: “‘It’s time for both sides of Congress to stand their butts up.’ We need trade policies that put American workers first.
Government worker unions are a strong part of the labor movement and unlikely to be getting any overtures from a new Trump administration, which has tried to paint the federal bureaucracy as an organized deep state opposed to him.
