(21,357 posts)With them. My husband works for a major airline carrier and a lot of his union workers buy into this republican shit and think the rich are being persecuted for their wealth. They believe the job creator memes and hate the President will a passion now calling him a Nazi. These guys live in the suburbs and have long commutes home. They have been brain washed steadily over the years listening to rush, Sean, levin and savage on their 1-2 hour commutes back to the suburbs. They make good money $30+ an hour full benefits, medical, dental, paid sick leave, paid vacations etc. yet they support the party that would do away with their union in a heartbeat if they get back both houses and the presidency. There is nothing you can say to them to change their minds. Its sick to hear these guys supporting the very people who would take away their well paid union jobs. When my husband points out facts they spew the talking points and can never explain or answer a question without sounding like parrots. I tell him never argue with a fool you're wasting your time and energy and they are too far gone. I call them the goners.
I feel sorry the owner has to deal with this couple in her business. Great post and thanks for a good chuckle.
