These people are insane. They truly believe they are part of some sort fo class struggle, despite having 6 figure incomes, college degree, and home ownership in some of the wealthiest suburbs in America (nova)

It’s borderline insulting that they are appropriating a song sung by coal miners suffering from black lung and deadly working conditions.

Do government workers really want the American public to vote on “Which side are you on?“ with the choices being:

(a) eliminating government bloat, corruption, and waste
or
(b) bloated and corrupt government workers?


I think we already voted (a) back on November 5.

I swear the Left is actively *TRYING* to get more people to hate and despise them at this point. I've got no other explanations.

The irony here as they basically backed the end to the group of people that song was famous for, coal miners

This was sung in Harlan County Kentucky in the 1930's and the 1970's and prominently featured in the movie Harlan County USA.

I worked in a coal mine to earn money to go to college. I've also worked in an office. The two are not comparable.

Which side am I on? The side of the taxpayer that has propped up do nothing jobs so the Biden administration could fake employment statistics.

Trump carried Harlan County all three times. Got 88% of the vote in 2024.

Re these protesters, several talking heads have noted that they are almost 100% govt. employees, or, not the general public.

Not one of those clowns could build a house, process a deer, repair a tractor, defend their own family against an attacker…and on and on…they are the party of what is now burdened by us being unburdened.
