“Union members” who, perversely, ignored the threat to their livelihoods in favor of the rah-rah Archie Bunker rhetoric that triggers them.

I was CWA, and have a friends and family who were UAW. I'll never forget one of Trump's
campaign speeches in metro-Detroit in 2016. He said: Ford and GM should move their plants
to Mexico if the union members are not willing to work for less money. I was blown away that
he would explicitly say that, as Trump is the master of innuendo, of maintaining deniable
plausibility. I was even more blown away how Trump's statement did not dent the support for
Trump from most of my union acquaintances. Fools.

Same with Reagan and the air traffic controllers back in the 80's. Union members majority
supported him. They couldn't put 2 and 2 together and think that, gee, if Reagan is busting
that union, then that makes our union weaker. Fools.
