Going back to the thread's title, people get what they voted for. She will be bad for labor (we are labor, no matter what airplane you're flying or how much money you're making), bad for unions (yes, we are union), and bad for all those uneducated, white people who voted for high paying (union) manufacturing jobs.

My old man was a pilot at Delta. He retired almost 2 decades ago to give you relevance of our ages. He always voted Democrat and most pilots in his career gave him crap. I voted Republican, along with my older brother until 2004. My brother and I also gave him crap all through high school, college, etc. We had many, many discussions and arguments about ideology but the one thing he could've said that would have shut us both up...."See all this stuff? See this house? Cars? Vacations? Fantastic hunting adventures? Fishing trips? Enough money your mom could stay home and raise 4 kids so they didn't have to be raised in day care? Enough money so all 4 could go to college and have it all of it paid for? A union job paid for it. That's why I vote Democrat."

Folks, the wealthy, and I mean ultra wealthy like Trump are laughing all the way to the bank while people like us fight over ideology. Concentration of wealth continues. I'm not a socialist, but I am for a strong middle class working under capitalism. I'm afraid we just accelerated the "Bernie Sanders" socialism that much quicker.

We are labor, and nothing more.
