Tbf the right courting labor unions shouldn’t ever work if the people they are courting have any brains…I guess if they wanna go with the angle of “immigrants will replace you as laborers at your jobs” they might have a chance, but even then…

Whenever talking to my European friends I always try to explain that our(American) conservatives are their far-right and our democrats are a lot closer to their conservatives/centrist parties. It really helps keep things straight.

Really, as we’ve seen in the last few years, American conservatives aren’t even really for “smaller government” with how many policies they’ve put forward that ostensibly increase state meddling in people’s lives.

One could make the argument that wanting the status quo is an inherently conservative position, no?

Never forget the way the human brain works, with the more common interpretation being: “it takes 7 instances of positive things to outweigh 1 negative.”

For my part I haven’t really noticed any difference, but I only infrequently comment!
