Meanwhile the membership especially in construction will continue to vote blue

gotta love that redneck koolaid. Amazing how they managed to convince the people most in need of socialism that it's somehow evil?

Trades guys are your standard peaked in high school jock types for the most part. They get very angry when they can't call people fags or have to acknowledge transgender folks etc. At least that's been my experience. This is changing and the new guys coming up have a different mentality but the old school ways are alive and well on the jobsite for anyone Gen x or older. The younger guys get radicalized by toxic manosphere types cause they struggle to get laid and shit like Rogan podcasts.
