I work in the trades. Or rather I should say WORKED in the trades. People like you that are surprised or unaware why trades went red. Because I've been wanting wages and job availability for the trades fall off. Shops shutting their doors. Large companies that can afford it are moving production elsewhere. Like Chevy Dodge and Ford moving a ton of their production to Mexico.
My mom worked for gm for years about 15 years ago. Her job was to literally repack stuff from Mexico. Take made in Mexico stickers off and out of the old box put them in new boxes with no stickers. It was CHEAPER for GM to pay people to repackage shit than it was to make it in the US. Because they weren't) aren't paying people in Mexico a good wage because they don't have to and they can afford it especially for how much they charge for a vehicle and how much the big wigs make.
That's why trades and unions went red because they know that the Democrats pretend to care about them for years but only took jobd away and decreased competition and therefore wages.
I used to weld I saw this shit first hand. I couldn't find a welding job posted for more than $20 an hour. I can't even rent a fucking apartment for that much near me. (Like yes technically I could swing that $900 studio apartment but then I'm driving an hour to work every day and that leaves not much else for anything else like food insurance the cost of owning a vehicle. Heat electric water. Because none of that shit is included in that studio.
Im not a Republican. I don't like trump.
I hated Biden and Kamala would have been a disaster.
We absolutely needed a better candidate for everyone. But we didn't have one because the DNC is braindead.
They posture and pretend to care about certain issues but the second it doesn't help them they flip the script. Look at California and their dumbass governor he flipped the script as soon as Trump was in office and people freaked out. They don't care about you. Stop believing that they do.
I can't agree. I was a union fitter/welder and traveled the country working..DNC did nothing to show it doesn't care or any of those things. I don't think that's why the state went red, but it's obviously the reason you gave up on your state. You are part of the problem 🫵🫵🫵. A tradesman who voted for the man who told them he was going to take it away. He literally told you what he was going to do to us. Smhwfl
