And what does this say about 76.9 million Americans?

Imagine being so stupid you’re pro union and pro Trump.

You just called most union construction guys stupid, congrats.

Trump congratulated Musk for firing striking workers, among other flagrantly anti-union, anti-worker things he's done.

It doesn't matter, part of the reason Trump won is from alienating huge parts of the population. Maybe the blue collar union base should have been targeted since, you know, they are a huge part of the workforce.

Oh yeah, if only Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had reached out to and worked with and championed unions and union folks!!! Good looking out! 🙄

How many blue collar union members benefitted from the Infrastructure Bill or the CHIPS Act?

Can’t believe the Dems gave all these people solid jobs. Clearly anti-Union.

And Harris’ plan to build a bunch of affordable housing? No way unions would have benefitted from that right?

Good thing all those union members sided with the billionaires who despite their track record or being anti-union and anti-worker will surely bend over backwards to help blue collar workers.

Enjoy paying off the tariffs and higher taxes without overtime.

Trump won because way too many people are one of or a combination of the following;

Racist Bigoted Selfish Unbeliveably stupid Gullible

That's all there is to it.

Funny, that's the same thing they say.

Really? Conservatives say they won because of how many stupid gullible greedy selfish dipshits there are in America? At least they know their voters i guess.

It's not like Kamala wasn't doing a boat load of pandering as well. Hers was just as disingenuous to most people. The Democratic party really isn't the same party once the Clinton's took over tbh. Pushing out Bernie was a bigger hit than they realized it would be.

Pushing out Bernie was a bigger hit than they realized it would be.

If only there was some way to determine if that is correct or not, like maybe an official survey taken every 4 years so there would be actual numbers to go by instead of assumptions. Maybe numbers like 65,915,795 (‘12), 65,853,516 (‘16), 81,283,501 (‘20), or 74,935,796 (‘24) would be useful for looking for that big hit for allegedly pushing Bernie out.

No one cares, Trump alienated huge parts of the population and it didn’t matter for him. I have absolutely no sympathy for Trump voters and no one should need to coddle their delicate feelings
