We grew up being told that the Democrats were the party of the working man.
Right or wrong, generations were raised with that belief. The white collar and gray collar might be either Republican or Democrat – there were always professions that skewed either way – but blue collar? That was Democrat to the core.
Looking at today’s America, however, it’s hard to see how the American worker – no matter what color collar he or she wears – can see today’s Democrat party as anything but an enemy.
The Biden-Harris regime began – Day One – with a flurry of executive orders, cancelling the contracts in place for ongoing work on the Keystone XL pipeline. Most were union construction jobs. Thousands of workers were thrown out of work on the spot – no notice, no severance – just because the incoming regime’s green agenda didn’t square with the idea of a pipeline moving Canadian fuel southward. In state after state along the route, materials were left sitting where they were, work unfinished, people fired and forced to move elsewhere to find new jobs.
And speaking of moving elsewhere… also among that flurry of executive orders were cancellations of existing permits for drilling on federal lands. And even more so, the hiring of federal bureaucrats – the top tier in every agency are always political hires – with the orders to slow-walk future permit applications. Drilling, exploration, R&D, everything in the critical oil and gas sector that requires any federal permit, from drilling on federal lands, to drilling on private lands that require government access or government authorization of any kind, slowed to a crawl instantly. For all intents and purposes, this development just isn’t happening anymore. And that’s why gasoline has more than doubled in price (Illinoisans were paying under $2/gallon in the weeks before the last election and we’re paying over $4.00/gallon in the weeks before this upcoming one).
They NEVER had any !!!! All they care about are the Rich Elite Who pay NO TAXES !!!!
The working man is getting ready to Kick Elites asses !!!!! This is Working Class country USA !!!
CHINA is using this Democrat Party of today to DESTROY AMERICA from WITHIN !!! FACT
Yes, the democrats have declared war on the blue collar working man. I’m a retired Union Electrician and registered as a democrat when I turned eighteen, but always voted whoever I thought would be the best for the country . When Donald Trump gave his presidential candidacy speech I knew then I had to switch parties, so I could vote for him in the primaries. I attended his packed rally at Stephen Decatur and have never seen so much enthusiasm for a political candidate in my life. Hillary was a liar and thief and only cared about fame and getting richer on the backs of the middle class, and she is still the same. Biden is a career politician and gained his wealth the same way. Trump was no doubt the best president we have had in my life time. The policies the democrats are promoting and enacting are actually making the American dream impossible. Living comfortably and prospering is out of reach for the working class men and women. Me along with thousands of other Union workers haven’t left the democratic party, they left us. I sure hope next week’s election day is a landslide victory for the back bone of this country. Go vote all democrats out of office November 8th !!!!
The myth of there being a ” Blue Collar” working ” Middle Class” that could aspire and attain was created by Unions and Post War Consumerism and now Starbucks Baristas make more than apprenticed Tradesmen and we have very talented Illegals that your contractor bills you for and pays them nothing and people that never made 20 dollars an hour in their lives saved nothing are Bitching that it’s unfair. Most of them have figured out that getting SSI Disability is their only option. For failure pain, obesity, diabetes, and overbreeding, and storm the Capitol with Goatees, White sneakers, and MOM jeans grunting like Alex Jones or wanna-be Pro-Wrestlers.
Not a myth 6:28, working class blue collar Union members prospered for generations. You seem to be somewhat educated and probably have a nice cushy desk job, but actually know nothing about the people that really built America, including the office you spend time in. Everything went to hell when the o’bidens got in power, yes obama and biden if you can’t figure that out. Everyone is getting the shaft now except the ultra rich, even well to do families are beginning to pinch pennies not knowing how far down this spiral is going. You don’t know it, if you haven’t lived it.
They never had any.
Yes. And never helped the people of color!!
They don’t help people of ANY color ONLY Rich Elites matter to them like Nazi Germany WW2 !!
Democrats made deals with the “green” activist who claim the world will end without significant changes to reducing fossil fuel use. Along with other geopolitical happening such as Russia invading Ukraine. This has not gone without much pain for citizens. When you affect citizens so negatively, they will reject these initiatives soundly and replace leaders with more realistic solutions. Politicians should listen more to all of its citizens and not just a small group of radicals. They make better decisions more accepted when they address the issues with a broader objective look. Otherwise, they get replaced by those who will be more objective in their decisions.
