    Saving you a click: The problem is they are rabidly, provably anti-labor.

      Problem is proof involves facts and reason. The majority voting R are doing so on vibes, so if they feel like the GOP is the working man’s party (and they’ll let Fox News tell them it is), then that’s how they’ll vote. They don’t care that they hurt themselves in the process, as long as there’s still someone else they can feel is beneath them. Who they will also somehow be convinced is the root of their problems rather than the policies they’ve voted for, allowing them to play the victim card and continue feeling justified in voting against their own interests to keep others down with them.

    It worked for Reagan. All they did was wave a flag in slow motion on the TV box and hey presto - blue collar Republicans, voting against their own interests for 40 years straight, no sign of stopping.

    Of course it’ll work now.

    Horseshit. There’s absolutely nothing pro-union or pro-labor about the GOP. They only care about handouts to their wealthy masters.

    Never forget that the official Nazi party name was “National-Socialist German Labourer’s Party.” Fascism has been trying to get the workers on its side since the 1930’s (unsure if Mussolini did it too in the 20’s)

      It wasn’t major, but the Toupee’s administration did get rid of the tax penalty for people who couldn’t afford insurance under the ACA.

    Hmmm, wonder if they’re aiming to be a National Worker’s party. There’s no easy they’d incorporate the word Socialist into their name, right?

      They don’t particularly like socialism (unless it’s for big business and billionaires), so we’ll need to come up with a shorter, snappier name to hide that part. I just do not see that happening though…

        Some Nazis who are averse to the word “socialist” have been replacing it with “traditionalist” (because, you know, that’s based, with tradwives and white-picket-fenced churches and all that). So, National Traditionalist American Workers’ Party could work

          If you rearrange it to National American Workers’ Traditionalist Party you can give it the acronym NAWT. Prononced as in “this party will definitely help American workers. NAWT!”
