The C-suite long ago sold out the United States, shuttering factories in the homeland and gutting American jobs, while using the profits to push diversity, equity, and inclusion and the religion of the trans flag.

They have forged trade deals that led directly to the hemorrhaging of 4 million good jobs to China.

But as O’Brien correctly observed Monday night, that isn’t the Republican Party’s true tradition. There was a time when Republicans knew that American strength depends squarely on American workers—and their way of life: family, neighborhood, church, union hall. Ronald Reagan knew it.

China is ripping us off, and strong tariffs must be maintained and expanded.

Teamsters blaming transgender people, “DEI”, and China for the suppression of the labor unions in America. Gives support to family, church, and Ronald Reagan.

That contract was way less than they could have got. All the American lefties celebrating it were either unfamiliar with how you win good contracts or understood but wanted to say, “good job rah rah see socialists support you”.

I don’t think a single “major” left org provided critical support, only uncritical.

This is the kind of outcome to expect from union reform campaigns that center vague ideas of tossing out corrupt people or being “democratic”. Reform needs to center class struggle or most of the time you’ll just get a new guard with basically the same problems. That’s what socialist parties have in the past, it worked well.

Reagan? The man who is famous for singlehandedly crushing the air traffic controllers’ union during his first year in office and accelerating the nationwide decline of unions? How can a union president endorse this shit with a straight face?

Professional organizers are the type of labor aristocrat most likely to be class traitors tbh.

It’s very hard to make a man understand something his paycheck depends on him not understanding.

China is ripping us off

American capitalists gave it to them, for free. Reagan and others allowed it to happen. It was a gift.

And its not like America lost everything. China is giving America ‘free’ shit in exchange for U.S. Dollars.

And Republicans are going to enact tariffs on Chinese goods while not improving domestic capacity. Atleast with Democrats one could claim they may give tax credits on domestic EVs or whatever (not enough of course). But Republicans love fossil fuels and think EVs are soy, there is zero reason for them to do anything.

I guess it would have been fine if it wasn’t supposedly spent on big woke.
