They have been at war with the working class since at least Reagan and have been lying about it the whole time.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Yet the working class still votes for them
Racism trumps self interest, it seems.
(paraphrased) Make the lowest white man believe he is better than the highest man of color, and he will empty his pockets for you.
-LBJ
He understood that being from Texas
The idiots with two brain cells fighting for third place are the ones still voting for him. Everyone else that can think for themselves and doesn't need fox "news" to tell them what do and how to feel has moved on from him.
At least since FDR. They tried to overthrow and kill the man for Christ sakes because of the new deal.
Wage war? More like mop up and finish the class off.
Only got room for the slave and merchant classes down below the billionaires and their politicians.
Capitalism is in perpetual war with the working class, it isnt specific to republicans.
But if Trump wins it'll be back to the 19th century.
Vote for him and push him left after the election. That method worked so well for Biden
thanks for making me spit out my coffee 😂
I know you're joking but I've seen that sentiment on here before.
It did. But only because Biden was already trending that way. Trump has never been for anyone but himself. As imperfect a candidate as Biden is. And he is very. Especially when it comes to Palestine Etc. He's in a whole nother higher League compared to Trump.
To have even a fraction of similar success. You'd have to find someone independently wealthy and left leaning. To follow trump around 24/7 licking his greasy orange taint. Unpaid, keeping everyone else away. Because trump memory makes a goldfish memory look like elephant's memory. And even then, you'd likely fail because trump is a natural born narcicist.
the GOP Is Ready to ~~Wage War~~ wage another war on the Working Class
The working class lost the war a century ago.
But I thought the GOP has successfully branded itself as for the working people? Republican voters are fucking stupid.
GOP plays country music and talks about Jesus/God. That's enough to get a solid 40% of the country to vote for them.
You forgot trucks, guns, and drinking themselves stupid instead of trying to understand the world and people outside of their deliberately myopic views.
As I said, they're fucking stupid.
They have also branded themselves as the fiscally responsible party and that is a joke.
At this point, how tf people even consider him fit for such crucial role.
He has an R next to his name.
It’s not even that though, because lots of people love him more than the R, such that the GOP has to follow his stupid lead on everything.
He's going to own the libz, and that's all I care about! /s
I’m just above the income ranges that will be screwed over, and I feel if you are dumb enough to vote for trump, your consequences will come with his victory.
This makes sense if the plan is to destroy the US before another country can become a credible threat and find a way to get the job done. It's petty and childish but then again, so are the people (term used loosely) involved.
They're not already?
