For years I have tried to grasp how Union Workers could vote for Republicans

[acri1]

Because they prioritize white supremacy over their financial self interest. It's not complicated.

Really not much to be said

When Republicans objective is to destroy them and their negotiating power. I just don't get it

The biggest unions endorsed Kamala over Trump because they know whats up..its not their fault union members are mostly retards

 

[Wiseborn]

Bruh Biden saved some folks pensions and I think they declined to endorse Kamala.

Now I know this is Anti-democrat/thecoli.com but people who had materially good things done for them went for Trump. There are really some stupid people with incredible cognitive dissonance. There are young people who wanted student loans cancelled who opted not to vote because it didnt happen for them (naturally due to Republicans).

There are mothafukkas who was rationing insulin who are gifted $35 insulin who went Trump. It would be hilarious if only they suffered. Its terrible because EVERYONE has to suffer.

We laugh at white people but look at all the Coli Magats who celebrated Trump’s victory.

I never heard one full throated support for the Man they literally wanted to hurt Democrats.

They wanted to deny a Black adjacent woman the selection to give it to a white surpremacist

It really sucks seeing people vote against their self interests in situations like this. It's like they don't care what happens to the people that come in after them due to their decisions.

The white man version of being a “real nikka”

More self destructive maladaptive behavior seen as an ideal or epitome

It's nothing but people who are all talk. They don't do anything outside of simple shyt but want to be given a bunch of credit.

Nothing but loudmouths who get outclassed in all arenas and are hoping the people they elect would level the playing field.

Funny thing is with the Republican policies, those people will be the first to go.

These people think they have “tough” jobs, so that Liberal stuff is sissy.

The minorities there are scared of their bosses so they vote with them, take on their culture, etc.

Great thread:



From a whole different thread I say today:


People are obsessed about being "a real man" but will act the most frail and completely "wussy" point blank whining when their guy doesn't get elected or when they have to do anything slightly complicated.

That's what's funny.

You see the problem now? It’s a country full of fukking morons and they're the majority.

This is such a dumb and shortsighted decision on their part. Objectively, there has not been a more pro-labor pro-worker president since like Lyndon Baines Johnson (who implemented his great society programs and bills during his 6 year mandate as potus between 1963 and 1969 ) than Joe Biden. Joe Biden hit every check box, saved pensions, reshored jobs, boosted manufacturing, kept and implemented tariffs, used big lofty bills/acts like IRA and CHIPs to try and revitalize it all and yet those "working class voters" all voted against their own economic and personal self-interests and voted on white supremacy, white grievances and culture war bullshyt. They were entertained and brainwashed by the crass WWE/ fratbro/faux macho toughness character act of trump. Transgender ads were everywhere, anti-woke messaging hurt Kamala Harris. It didn't matter, they weren't voting for Biden anyway and they weren't voting for his Vice president obviously. So if you're a Democratic candidate, you will waste time, energy and effort trying to placate these voters, who are more focused on culture wars, racism, pissing off liberals/leftists , xenophobia and white supremacy than economics, law and order and good government. These kind of people will always vote for the Republican candidate with the most right wing populist/racist vibes and optics.

Real wage growth for the lowest quintiles exceeded the highest for the first time in decades. These policies worked! Inequality decreased. It didn't matter. It's not about economics for many of these voters (or at least nothing beyond inflation). Trump was elected because of reactionary white backlash. He rode the xenophobic/racist white grievance wave. His campaign was mostly based on stirring up fears and prejudices.

If you think the Dems need to move left after this all I can do is laugh. Bernie Sanders was not winning and his style of progressive economics isn't going to be popular among the general American voting population . Kamala Harris was considered a far-left extreme communist (lol) and lost a ton of moderate, suburban, and Hispanic voters over it. If anything you need another Bill Clinton( Gavin Newson maybe ? ) a middle aged white male moderate/centrist on the social level and someone who promotes the benefits of growth and deregulation.

I think we give so called working class voters too much credit as to why they vote the way they do. You can break down the economic reasons, the law and order reasons, the healthcare reasons, the foreign policy reasons etc etc, but I don’t really believe that’s the reason why. They can’t grasp the depth and complexity of these issues anyway. They don’t have the ability and the intellectual curiosity to do it. They never had a college level education anyway and they are only able to read at a 6th grade level. They literally have the intellectual and mental capacity of a 6th grader in an elementary school. And they lack have empathy, sympathy and compassion for people who don’t look and think like them.




It’s just a cult of personality thing in my opinion. One candidate was successful at cultivating a controversial, polarizing and entertaining image( as despicable and ridiculous it was) the other one was not. Trump’s prime time television political advertisements of painting Harris as this ultra liberal, trans warrior (which is laughable considering her past as a district attorney in California ) were successful. Trump has inflammatory rhetoric and catchy one-liners for the easily distracted and intellectually shallow folks, he gives simple answers to complex questions and he plays on the deep fears and emotions of the ignorant, xenophobic, racists and poorly educated. There’s a reason why the petty, uneducated and dumb people voted for trump. When you see people voting against their interests in every election, you understand why.

Also Republican voters will form like voltron and vote for the Republican candidate in a block no matter what, the same can’t be said for democrats. They are United and put their full support behind the back of their guy. They really stay on code. And most people who vote for the GOP are Hispanics and whites (the two most dominant racial groups of this country)

When Trump will retire, his base will retire from politics immediately too . Trump loyalists don’t care about J.D Vance, Ron deSantis, tulsi gabbard, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, or Vivek Ramaswamy. They don’t care about the GOP as it is.

they emotionally support trump and weren’t interested in politics before 2015-16. Where were these maga cult fanboys in 2008 or 2012? They didn’t care about John McCain or mitt Romney.

And Trump won’t be able to run for a third election because he will be too old to do so, and also because the 22nd amendment of the US constitution anyway. He will be only limited to two terms. But the damage will be done after 4 years.

Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states within seven years from the date of its submission to the states by the Congress.[3]
