They want to kill (public) unions altogether

I'm a school bus driver and we're unionized (although that's actually somewhat rare). My co-workers are mostly trumpers but also rabidly pro-union, at least pro-our union. They're in a strange mental state where they think trump and the republicans are supporters of unions and it's the democrats who are trying to break them. I'm sure even George Orwell is in his grave thinking "wait, I didn't think people would really be like this."

The mental gymnastics are wild... If the people of West Virginia's grandparents and great grandparents could see what that state has become, they'd be rolling in their graves.
