Like first of all, the guy is pretending the working class is way more reactionary than it actually is. Secondly, who's organizing a group of iron workers in America anymore? Like I know it happens, but they're obsessing over a job that a very small handful of people have at this point. And the entire purpose is to build up right wing narratives of what the working class is, like the left isn't going to magically win if we pretend that the working class is entirely composed of socially conservative evangelical white men who work at coal mines or steel mills.

Based on every ironworker I know the more likely scenario is: "You're organizing a group of ironworkers to strike for higher wages when you discover half of them are already unionizing and didn't tell you because you're not also a vegan like the rest of the shop, so they assumed you'd be against a union drive."
