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.

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

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
