12715240, How did the GOP get white ppl to turn on Unions?
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Sun Feb-01-15 09:17 AM
I get how they turn the masses on Big Government. Big Government = hand outs to black and brown people.

But unions? It seems to me working class white folks would have a natural affinity to unions.

Never figured out how Reagan firing the Air Traffic Control Unionist made him a hero and not villianize him among the working class folks.

What am I missing?
