Republicans have screwn (insert color here) collar workers since Dick Nixon.

It amazed the hell out of me that all of these voters practically tripped over themselves to blue-sky the worst Republican non-politician in modern American history as a "man of the people", conveniently forgetting his history and that of Republicans in general.

The Republican is no friend to workers. I don't understand why this is such a head-smacking revelation.
