A woman college student with colored hair represents everything they hate: women, rebellion against gender norms, and education that doesn't blow smoke up your ass about how great america is. What the right is going to have to do is get more friendly with actual labor, not boaters or labor aristocrats, but actual minimum wage workers. They need to do this before they wake up and realize that the women with the blue hair is fighting for your rights.
This is the thing I keep thinking about, I tend to think that the right wing in this country is ascendant and will eventually overtake everything else but how are they even going to fucking do that when hating poor people is baked into their ideology
No idea. I'm mostly going off what Matt has been saying, that the republicans will become the new working class party. Tricky to do when their base is boaters and labor aristocrats.
I don't see this being a problem. There are some repubs who are working class people upset that they aren't being forced to work until they die of disease. It sure seems like there exist a hefty portion of the US who would happily march in contrast to their desires and interests. As long as dems act like fucking liberals you can be the party that owns the libs.
T hey only need about 1/3 of the country to support them. Less if they have those in power behind them.
That's not hard when you consider not even half are Vaxx'd in america.
Gonna be real hard to do when they don't understand what a working class person is. In their view, the blue-haired Starbuck's barista taking home minimum wage, or the kid at Wholefoods packing groceries, or public school teachers are not working class. Only blue-collar types can be working class, because only those forms of labor count as "work". Dehumanizing yourself for 12 hours a day, six days a week isn't work unless you get a callous on your hands from working outside. Ironically, it's those blue-collar physical labor jobs that tend to be the most unionized and thus have less to demand. Of course, the validity of all the backbreaking physical labor in the world gets instantly thrown out the window if it's perormed by an illegal immigrant under near-slavery to pay off transport debts to be smuggled into the US.
What's that? Contradictions? Nawww
has me thinking about when the state of Georgia passed an immigration law with enough teeth that a season's crops rotted in the fields
Alabama did the same. They do this shit all the time. The Mexican people, and the many Central Americans who are confused for Mexicans, have been utterly dehumanized by America to the point where we will pay people pennies to risk arrest and deportation just so we can have some fucking peaches
Mike Rowe and his consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
:gulag: for that despicable piece of shit
