 I don’t understand how republicans think it’s popular to fight against unions and more pay/less work hours per week.

When great efficiencies are created via technology, we absolutely should be at a point where a 4-day work week is the norm. And yes, I also think government regulation and taxation in some instance gets in the way of that too. 

Profit margins and pay are on the rise between the top and bottom in major corporation. They can and should pay their workers more, especially with our rapidly devalued currency. Add bitcoin into the mix for workers to save in 🔥 
 Because it works— their voters imagine themselves at the top some day, where they can be the ones exploiting people in their current situation 
 I don’t think it concerns them. People are generally 1/2 issue voters at this point and have chosen teams.

And roughly half the republicans don’t even care about any issue, it’s just “we like the fat orange man with makeup” 
 yes republicans are faggots.

only Neo-Nazis like me are cool.

and Unions are Communist.

these Union fuckroaches should spend some time working in a factory in China you would never hear a peep out of them again. 
 Because republicans are stupid. And useless. 
 It’s because Republican voters don’t see themselves as poor or middle class, rather they see themselves as “temporarily inconvenienced multi-millionaires.”
