Midnight Meme Of The Day!

Happy Labor Day!
Everything on this list is a thorn in the side of today's Republican Party. Americans died for the things on this list during labor demonstrations and Americans died defending these rights and this way of life. Add in the innate republican hate for equal pay for equal work for women (a labor battle that women have now been fighting for over 100 years), plus the Republican mania for voter suppression driven by their racism and class warfare, plus their violent defense of statues that memorialize slavery and lynching and you have what amounts to a major part of the Republican Party platform. No wonder their leader loves authoritarian dictators and dreams of their reciprocal love.
Labor Day is not just about grilling hamberders and hot dogs. Labor Day is a day to celebrate the opposite of what our Republican neighbors and any other conservatives stand for.

The people of the United States have been successfully propagandized into thinking of unions as worthless Communists who extort money from employers using the tactics of the Nazis to do so. They don't have the slightest clue of what it takes to actually exercise the rights granted under the law, thinking that unions are some kind of powerful force that can always get what it demands. They don't know -or care- that a union is only as good as the membership taking action as a group. They would rather let someone else provide the goodies while they do nothing but take advantage.
I say this as a union member who is greatly disappointed in the membership and their stupidity and laziness to take action on their own behalf.
I reserve my thanks when it comes to police unions. Going back to the early 50s I have all too clear memories of cops protecting business owners from striking workers. And let's not talk about Richard Daley's cops standing up for every right-wing cause, shall we?
Those were Democrats and FDR.
Those don't exist today. They were euthanized by Clinton, the DLC and corporations.
Voters are just too fucking stupid to see it.
