To be a working class republican means to not have a political education...
None of the benefits that the working class in America share in came from the "conservative" movement. It all sprang from left-wing, progressive, liberal democratic organizing.

Every benefit that working people ever fought for and achieved through struggle came as a result of fighting against capitalism and corporate resistance.

Any working person who thinks they are a republican either chooses to be ignorant of the facts, doesn't care about the facts, is a racist - closet or otherwise, is a willing dupe and has no sense or knowledge of the history of working class struggle.
