> Current administration is not aligned with labor and poor people are the one who will pay the most.

You might want to tell labor. I just listened to an hour-long podcast with the Teamsters leader, where he revealed that over half of their members supported Trump in the most recent election:

Yes, and it boggles the mind as to why they did. Biden was quite the pro-worker president. Biden saved the Teamsters pension fund and then still the Teamsters officially wouldn't endorse him or Harris. To have your retirement rescued so spectacularly while the opposing party was throwing stones at it and then go on to vote for that opposing party who would have stopped that funding if they could... I just don't understand.

Poor people voting against their own interest is a large base of the Republican party. It's usually some combination of religion, racism, and temporarily embarrassed millionaire thinking.

This predictable response to people doing what they think is best is so incredibly demeaning, infantilizing, and small-minded. Just because _you_ think somebody is voting against their own interest does not mean they are actually voting against their own interest.

The most virtuous of us do not vote their own interest first, but rather the interest of justice and morality. The assumption that people should or will vote their own interest first & always is what the kids these days seem to call "mid" and "basic".

		They dont do what they think is best. They want to harm people not like them, they are attracted to fraud and want affirmation of hierarchy that they think is advantage to them. The infantilizing thing is constantly project positive motivations on people who do the opposite. They were literally looking forward to cause harm, they just thought it will harm only liberals, trans, stupid feminists and well ... anyone not them.

They love his anti-trans crusade, they love his anti-eco crusade, they love he is sticking it to the libs. They find his sexual harasment issues to make him more true manly. None of that has anything to do with labor itself or economy. It has nothing to do with parties changing other then Republicans changing to more extreme right.

That being said, actual labor as in worked did not went for Republicans all that hard. It appears that way only if you restrict labor meaning to males of specific demographics.

It is not labor thing. It is gender resentment over not being on top of hierarchy thing.
