WaPo (2016) - Donald Trump got Reagan-like support from union households

[BlueTsunami2018]

5. Lots of Тяцмр humpers in my union.

They’re still on board. They love the immigration stuff, the shit talking, the name calling and the incivility. It’s ironic because nearly all would have voted for Bernie if he got the nomination and he is none of those things.

People really underestimated how much blue collar workers hate Secretary Clinton. I mean these guys despise her and they can’t answer me why. It’s completely irrational.

I explained over and over at job meetings about the courts, the danger our rights were being put in, how utterly unqualified Тяцмр is but they did not care. The racism, sexism and belief in empty promises were too much to overcome. Lots of gun nuts too. They still don’t care.

Now, that’s not to say it’s anything close to a majority of my union members but it’s a good 30%. To have to listen to these people still gloating is enough to make me want to hit a breaker while they’re working on a circuit. Of course, I won’t. But the thought has crossed my mind. They shouldn’t even be in a union.
