When it comes to stripping their union rights, cutting their pay, removing workplace safety laws, increasing their cost of healthcare, ignoring new job creation projects because they're "woke" or "dei." That comes first!

There is a reason Nazis called themselves national socialist at the time. Socialism wasn't a "scary" term yet and was associated with workers movements and positive material outcomes of revolution against oppressive states.

They are just using the terms and phrases people associate with positive change.

Fascist don't care if they are called liars. They thrive off of people thinking they will be stopped by pointing to their hypocrisy. The only language they understand is violence. It's why our liberal institutions will continue to fail as they attempt to fight them with the very systems and structures that gave them power in the first place.

No, they'll fail because they're not fighting at all.

Notice how the words "American Workers" is written in small lettering. Small enough that some may not even be able to read it from afar, while FIRST is in all caps. Then take into account orange man being on top of the text. Subliminally trying to instill in people that "Trump is first"?
