The betrayals of the UAW and the rise of right-wing militias in Michigan
[The UAW and other industrial unions were established in the 1930s through the struggle of socialist-minded workers to develop class consciousness and politically inoculate workers against the fascist poison peddled by the likes of the KKK, Father Coughlin in Michigan and the Nazi-supporter Henry Ford.]
[Trump's victory in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin in 2016 was not the product of “racism” of white workers, as the Hillary Clinton campaign and other apologists of the Democratic Party claimed. Instead, it was a shift by a section of working-class voters, including many who had voted for Obama, to Trump or third parties, or abstention, leading to the defeat of Clinton, who made no secret of her contempt for the working class.]
As I have stated occasionally, in 2016 I personally encountered many who changed party affilliation to vote for Sanders. Republicans and independents nationwide. After the shit show the democrats put out with their display of fake democracy many of those people went back to their party or stayed home.
A people in dire times can be lead astray by an artful minion. And there's large pockets of these people who have been ripely conditioned by some clever groups who are made up of people as such in these unions.
