With worker strikes across the country underway, two things are noticeable:

-Marxoids refuse to accept some of these protests are connected to vaccine mandates

-Republican politicians, even those who have called for working-class "realignment," aren't championing strikes

It's hilarious that we keep hearing about the realignment from the GOP. Okay, how do we feeling about championing strikes to break the regime? Forget theory and op-eds--it's happening all around. Where is the support?

And "Marxists" are a joke, good little regime bootlickers

US politics are theater. Meanwhile, nameless men and women are putting the fear of God into school boards that abuse their children while working class Americans strike for better wages as "Marxists" tell them to get the jab and Republicans call for more "legal" immigration

Literally no name, faceless Americans showing up to school board meetings are doing real damage alongside striking workers as Republicans role play about being pro worker and obese Marxoids are denying vaccines play a role/arguing simultaneously that we need more immigration

Figuring out how to support strikers/parents raging against school boards would be a far more productive way to spend time and energy than giving money to a politician/think tank at this point that has been talking a lot but not doing much

The right is so anti worker that it can't support strikes even when there is a tight labor market because unions are only bad and the left is either in denial about this because of concerns that it makes Biden look bad or contemptuous toward workers upset about vaccine mandates
