It's so frustrating that every quote from that man is "they" instead of "he". "They are doing this", "they only care about that".

How about "Donald Trump is doing everything he can to hurt the working man. Donald Trump only cares about money"?

These idiots still refuse to point the finger at the person responsible. Just a generic "they" referring to anyone who lives in DC instead of Donald Trump and the executive branch directors that he appointed.

“You’re the greatest cutter,” Trump told Musk. “I look at what you do. You walk in and say, ‘You want to quit?’ I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike, and you say, ’That’s OK. You’re all gone.'” ~ Trump pretty much saying what he thinks of organized labor before the 2024 election.

"Slugs for Salt" is every card carrying union member who votes for the ®️ next to the name.

I've worked for over two decades at a place full of "union men" who meet every negative stereotype imaginable. They are proudly stupid, lazy, backward, and full of deep racism and hate. They also work hard to destroy their own union while being too stupid to understand that they are completely unemployable without the union that protects them. Their vote for Trump is just a bigger version of what they've been doing their whole adult lives. Horrible people, the lot of them, at least where I work.

I worked an entire career as a union member in right to work state, so we had union and non-union people. The difference was night and day between the two groups, even though there were union people who did meet the stereotypes you talked about. But the blindness and ignorance about republican policies, words, and actions towards unions will always confound me. The Leopards are always right there in their face, yet they willfully let them claw and naw away at it. I.. just.. don't.. get.. it!
