Organizing the Battery Belt. In deep-red Kentucky workers are trying to unionize a new EV battery plant. If Trump scraps the IRA, it may cost thousands of his supporters safe, well-paying jobs. Republicans are faced with a question: Will they stand with Trump or their own constituents’ livelihoods?

Ooooo, I know!
Clearly a rhetorical question!
Congressional Republicans will only stand with their own livelihoods, not those of their constituents. Republican “leaders” know their futures are tied to Trump, not the voters. Republican voters can be relied upon to return any candidate to office who runs while designated as a “Republican” on the ballot. Based on their voting history, the average Republican voter’s memory doesn’t extend farther back than about a month and a half.
Gee. What a conundrum. Whatever will they choose, I wonder?
republicans have shown time and time again they don’t even stand up for america, let alone for themselves or their constituents. they know they will continue to get support from these people regardless of what happens because they’ve all been brainwashed to vote against their self-interests because “dEmOcRaTs BaD”.
They will shoot themselves in the foot and blame every limped step on Democrats.
Ehhh good luck but any attempts to unionize are at will. If the company finds others willing to work you can’t force the company to unionize. Thats illegal.
Read the full Republican tax plan, that should help you understand just who they really represent.
Will their constituents stand with their constituents? Being a non-billionaire GOP voter means voting against self-interest more often than not.
Ohhhhh pick me I have the answer and I wave my hand frantically for the teachers attention.
Honestly I’m enjoying watching from my coastal California home with my EV in the driveway….with all my commie money…. Retired early…passive income. But remind me again how California is soooo horrible. And liberals suck.
They really are showing us… can’t wait for gas to be $8 a gallon nationwide after we tariff everyone.
Uh huh…
EO can’t junk IRA tho.
Can it?
Trump.
They’ll side with Trump. Most of these people trying to Unionize would never vote for a Democrat that actually supported them anyway.
No one could have imagined this conundrum a few years ago. Biden creates hundreds of thousands of good middle class jobs in shithole red states, and Republicans want to kill them because the jobs are too “woke”. How did these dipshits ever get elected to public office?
They are in for the realization that trump doesn’t care about them in the slightest, and hopefully leave the cult.
They will blame Democrats and the new word for DEI they create
