Gotta wonder just how many of those construction workers either don't bother to vote (bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe!), or vote republican (at least we ain't got no 'Murica-hatin' libruls!), like a frog in the pot demanding that the stove be cranked up to high.
You’ve a point but In fairness to the folk with the first viewpoint, the Democrats and Republicans were not much different till 2012ish. Maybe a bit earlier. I seem to recall it was around that time I caught the first real scent of stupid from the Republicans. Before that it was just the occasional wiff, which happened just as frequently around Democrats. “I know what an Assult Rifle is, I’ve seen them on TV”.
As for the “frogs” I can’t decide if Darwin was wrong or if the Democrats keep saving their stubborn asses.
I think the republicans truly went off the rails when Obama was elected. It broke them. the seeds were planted by 90s Newt Gingrich, and obviously Reagan before that, though.
