Over time the unions have been hollowed out and the Democratic party has increasing had an image problem.
These lower workers think that the Democrats are only pandering to “woke” problems which that population obviously doesn’t think affect them(and in some cases is actually detrimental).
This is not really true but it is what they think and it’s one of the reasons Trump does so well in that demographic regardless of what he does.
Absolutely. And it extends to more than just democrats. Unions have been brainwashed into thinking all progressive platforms are bad for labor, which is nuts. Have union guys in my city literally pitching about how labor socialists are anti-worker and MAGA candidates are better for them.
This is not how it’s always been.
Unions etc used to be reliably Democratic.
