Dear anonymous fake news koan, you need to spice your message with some feelings. Trump is turning on the workers now. What made me want to set my hair on fire, is that it was workers that voted Trump in But Trump is and always has been management. and making your life hell. This is what you did.

>> Trump is not putting any workers in his cabinet Who is in the Cabinet now that you consider to be a "worker?" What about Clinton's Cabinet? In fact, who is the last Cabinet member you can think of you consider to be a "worker?"

Hi koan; Re: "Trump is turning on the workers now."; The working class voters I know are exceedingly happy with what Trump is doing. The ones that voted for him are very happy with the fact that they did; the others trying to get their voting rights restored. They're over-joyed about stuff like the Carrier deal and the Ford announcement. He looks to be a more effective version of Reagan; that is, he picks up the working class while actually bringing more jobs. It's obvious that Trump is going to keep doing the same things as President as he promised those working class voters. It's pretty easy to expect that they will be very happy with him when the 2018 elections come up and they will give the Republicans a super majority in the Senate. And probably take back a lot of seats in the House. Meanwhile, the Republicans picked up more state politicians and it appears highly likely that they will be in control of the next reapportionment. With each passing year the climate story gets older and, with the world producing record grain harvests and the deserts turning greener, the story is harder to believe. And the climate story is directly in contradiction to what working class voters want (jobs). So Trump is going to keep pushing jobs and this will be at the expense of EPA and CO2 crap. What's more, this will undoubtedly improve the job situation. A certain amount of that is just recovery from an economy that had grown way too good for the upper classes and way to bad for the working classes but voters won't have any explanation other than that Trump fixed the economy for them. You could be looking at two decades before the Democrats recover. If ever. You could see them being replaced by a weak Socialist / Green party that never gets elected to anything outside of California, LOL. -- Carl

Hi koan; Re: "The Democratic Party was always the union party . The Republican Party was always the management party. Unions were developed to protect the people from management who had always taken horrible advantage of the workers until just recently. That is like always through all of recorded history, always."; When I point out to my leftist friends that it was the Republican party that freed the slaves, gave women the vote, and even started the EPA, while the KKK was members of the Democrat party they tell me that a long time ago, the Republicans were the "progressive" party and it was the Democrats that were the conservatives. But that the Republicans evolved away from that. Now you're seeing another evolution. Yes, it used to be that the Democrats were the party of the little people and the Republicans were the party of management and the big corporations. But this year things changed. It was Trump who campaigned on a small budget contributed by little people and Clinton who got her money from the big spenders and big corporations. You still think that the Republicans are the party of management. Are you really sure of that? Read the following article. It will tell you about the political tilt of a typical modern CEO: Tech CEO who vowed to murder Donald Trump with a sniper rifle forced to resign Yahoo Tech news, November 15, 2016 Nope, getting a sniper rifle and perching myself where it counts. Find a bedroom in the whitehouse that suits you &^%. I'll find you.* yahoo.com You need to recognize that things have changed. Sure it's tough, but your Democrats are no longer the party of the workers. You're now the party of the CEOs. And the Democrats are now the war party. That's why the Bush administration supported Hillary instead of Donald. That's why so many of the Republican war party neocons jumped ship to the Democrats. You guys are the ones who want to start a war with Russia. You're the ones that broke Syria and Libya. You're now supporting the war party of the upper class and management. But hey, at least you still have the greens! And you're still the ones in favor of letting in anyone from the 3rd world! But sadly, those are policies that hurt working class voters. Up to now, those voters were too scared to vote Republican because they believed your stories about the Republicans. What are you going to tell the working class when 4 years of Trump goes by and no damage has been done to Social Security? And illegal immigrants aren't being shot at the border? And abortion and birth control is still cheap and available everywhere? You won't have a story to scare the working class away from voting Republican. Trump just barely scraped by in this election. But what his reign will mean is the "red pilling" of a new generation of working class voters. -- Carl
