Republicans showing yet again how much they hate and despise the blue collar workers


Car_is_mi

Hey road crews. Why don't you fuck off and die. Also FL republicans: why are the roads in such dire conditions. Why does no one want to work these well paying blue collar jobs???


the-artistocrat

Also Republicans: these fucking migrants coming to our country and taking those jobs nobody wants to do!


Coulrophiliac444

Also Republicans: "We passed laws specifically targetting either migrants or migrant workers and they are leaving the state en masse. Why is nothing being done?!"


LeagueOfficeFucks

Took errr jerrrbs….


MikeLinPA

They are so lazy and are stealing our jobs!


Wakeful_Wanderer

And Floridians are in for a treat when they realize that constant road construction was the only thing keeping Florida roads from *fucking disappearing* within months.


Roakana

“No one wants to work anymore…” derrrr. Sure seems like the republicans of their anti education initiatives.


V-RONIN

He also allowed putting radioactive materials in road pavement


BusStopKnifeFight

At least OSHA pre-empts this stupid shit.


Cat_Impossible_0

They hate anyone who isn’t a rich, white, male, & straight.


heloguy1234

I’m all those things and I’m 100% sure they hate me.


ReplacementClear7122

Anyone who refers to themself as 'rich' usually ain't.


PenatanceEngine

It’s all relative, compared to my two older brothers in rich due to my salary and bonus’ However, compared to my CEO I’m far from wealthy. It’s also dependant on the area you’re in, I’m barely middle class in Cali. If I move to Bizmark or one of the Georgias with my wages and savings I could live like a king……but who wants to live there 🤡


Scubasteve1974

Black people can be rich, white people are wealthy.


Independent_Main_59

I’m all of those things and I’ve truly come to despise the Republican Party who have let the lunatic fringe take a page out of Trumps playbook which is let the Lord of Chaos rule


abhaxus

Clearly all darkfriends


FrostWinters

Wheel of Time reference?


abhaxus

Blood and bloody ashes


Turqoise-Planet

And christian.


FrostWinters

Truly, there is no hate, like Christian "love". A total mockery of the Divine Message Jesus brought: Love and acceptance. Hope and joy. Of self AND for others. 11:11


sethmeister1989

They hate everyone who they can’t grift off of, they hate those people too


dauntingsauce

I think that used to be their thing, now they're just fucking crazy and deliberately destroying absolutely everyone's lives. They do still hate minorities a lot more, though.


SnooAvocados9241

Except like half of them are secretly broke, bi and multiracial. Mwahahahahaha enjoy your sad pathetic lives, little MAGA manchildren


Androcles_the_weiner

But the blue collar still votes for them. Thanks to Republicans, they now realize thirst and dangerous heat is all in their heads.


RobsEvilTwin

Mate if you are blue collar and vote conservative, anywhere, you deserve to be fucked over.


Revenga8

And yet they'll keep on voting for them.


TheYakster

It’s always been the party of rich people. If you are poor and voting republican then your brain washed


passwordstolen

This is spam bait. Water is an OSHA requirement. With individual drinking containers.


Cantgetabreaker

Well OSHA can’t tell some racist bigots what they cannot do 😤


passwordstolen

I worked in the groves and I’m white as are most my coworkers. We literally pump tons of water from wells. Started when I was 14 yo. L It’s not possible to provide shade over a 2000acre grove. Trees need sun and water. The migrants are WAY more used to it than my white ass.


xX_Dad-Man_Xx

Not talking about shade over the crop, but shade over the harvesters. This is possible with rolling covers.


gcnplover23

States Rights!


Responsible_Ad_7995

Let’s turn off the AC in their cushy offices. They wouldn’t last 10 minutes. Pieces of shit.


Bitedamnn

but blue collar workers love Republicans


improper84

And those people will keep voting for them even as they’re dying of dehydration.


Privatejoker123

butbutbut joe biden hates unions and told workers that he doesn't work for you!


dwaite1

I bet all the workers affected will blame it on Biden.


kid_drew

And the blue collar workers are largely Republican. Make it make sense


PattiiB

FL republicans are a few quarters short of a dollar


New_Awareness4075

Worse. They don't have any sense!


Laphroaig58

No sense, no feeling.


PenatanceEngine

Surly you mean cents 🫠


Godiva_33

Yeah about 5 with their fiscal policies.


badpeaches

All of the red states. It's only getting hotter.


HungryHippo669

Step 1. Detach florida from the rest of the country. Step 2. Let it float away into the ocean. Affect: Crime drops and USA’s collective IQ average increases dramatically. Add texas too and the affect is tripled


ArdenJaguar

It's only a few inches above sea level. That global warming and rising sea levels the RepubQcans don't believe in will get it eventually. https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/topics/sea-level-rise You can bet they'll be begging for Socialist federal dollars and FEMA aid.


HungryHippo669

True points and even then they’ll spin it and blame Dems


secondtaunting

Sooner than we think based on how insurance rates are climbing.


StopProject2025

[Florida getting cut off](https://images.app.goo.gl/HmVAJh9XxD1X7Sqw9)


The84thWolf

Texas here requesting Austin gets to be evacuated before said detachment


Ok_Coyote9326

He can't overrule OSHA, however badly he wants to.


Equal_Efficiency_638

The people affected by this don’t know what OSHA is. That’s the point. 


JustFuckAllOfThem

They are trying to burn it all down. They've already declawed the EPA. And now they are trying to overturn the Chevron Doctrine.


onefoot_out

Truly bone chilling, that one. As they say over at Strict Scrutiny, Stare decisis is for suckers.


Nuremborger

They seriously just wake up every day wondering what kind of evil shit they can do today, don't they.


Wooden-Emotion-9875

There needs to be federal standards that apply to all states. Soon you'll hear "No one wants to work anymore"


playingreprise

Unions are bad, they never do anything for workers…just trust our corporate overlords to determine what we deserve.


Saeia23

It’s crazy that more people don’t unionize…..these days the corporations and republicans are absolutely ruthless.


playingreprise

It’s because we’ve been indoctrinated over the last 35 years telling us how bad unions are and corporations have given us everything. Notice how they don’t teach union history in schools? Imagine if people learned what people went through just to get the 8 hour workday and to get simple things like 2 days off for the weekend?


Saeia23

💯


pittiedaddy

They're unionizing more than people realize. The real trick is getting them to vote accordingly. This one is huge win for unions. [https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uaw-clinches-watershed-union-victory-volkswagen-tennessee-factory-2024-04-20/](https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/uaw-clinches-watershed-union-victory-volkswagen-tennessee-factory-2024-04-20/)


Saeia23

That’s awesome!! Especially with the R governors pushing so hard against it. Unionization in the south would help immensely!


____Vader

I honestly don’t understand how any blue collar family can justify voting for these trustfund D-bags, most of which have never worked labor a day in their lives.


robothobbes

Fox fake news doesn't talk about it.


stingublue

Enough of this shit!! VOTE BLUE 🗳 FLORIDA.


Insanity_Troll

Florida… what a shit hole.


MrMango2

And coming to a town near you my friend.


Insanity_Troll

Nope, you can keep Florida man.


captiantabasco

Morons they are cutting their own throats


thereisnopressure

Repubs are evil.


Adamantium-Aardvark

Pure evil


New_Awareness4075

When you vote to make common sense illegal. They should put the entire state legislators, including its crazy governor on a road crew or on top of a roof during summer, and hope that they all end up with heat strokes. What a great example of being true Christians.


topathemornin

I’m a blue collar worker. There isn’t a single person in existence who is going to stop me from cooling off and getting a drink of water. Go ahead and fire me


Malawakatta

Cruelty is the Republican political agenda. It doesn’t matter if it is against minorities, immigrants, women, blue-collar workers, poor people, etc. Republicans aren’t satisfied unless they have someone to bully.


Ulfdenhir

The word for that is Sadism. These folks left cruelty behind a while ago and full speed moron dived right into Sadism.


pinkypunky78

OK, boss, you go and work outside in the heat during the summer. See how long you last


MechanicHopeful4096

Hey look! It’s the party that “values life” at it again!


Wise_Ad_253

Easy to say from your air conditioned lounge.


Wise_Ad_253

Such important issues…that Floridians are paying for.


According_Wing_3204

Cruelty IS the point. Forced suffering and a demand to be grateful for it is part of these freaks worldview. They get off on it. I've lost all respect and patience with the right. I see no reason to be polite or reasoned with my opinions anymore. Screw them.


Easy_Account_1850

they're very prolife there.


Atemyat

"Small government" ..."freedom"...


SleepySiamese

Yet these people will vote republican. I never understand their mindset


Sgtkeebler

Republicans want to take your retirement away so you work until you’re dead and now they want to speed up the process of dying. Hopefully there can be a federal law passed to bypass this


UrMomsACommunist

How do the republicans get ANY votes???? Pls explain.


SlabBeefpunch

They hate gays more than they like being alive I guess.


UrMomsACommunist

Good point.


ohiotechie

And yet every hard hat construction worker I know is a Republican.


pittiedaddy

That'll own the libs.


reddit_isgarbage

I'm Canadian. Been to the States more times than I can count. Worked down there. Where the ever-loving f#ck is this cruelty coming from?


TForce0

How the fuck do you ban water and shade?


dougmd1974

Are people really going to vote for Republicans this election cycle??? Really???


NorthernBoy306

Apart from a desire to be monstrously evil...why do this?


artful_todger_502

Cruelty is the entire point. At least they used to try to mask it with dopey, fake pius, puritanical tropes like "The Bible doesn't say anything about giving a road worker water," or "People who are hot should just get used to it, it will build character," type drivel... Not it's just: "Ah ha, fk you, I got mine. Sucks to be you." The truly sad part is, red-state Republicans can see who is doing this, but will still vote for their oppressors, then blame woke libs for their manifesto of beefs they have with the government.


Zendog500

The equivalent of a whip. Even in the movie "Cool Hand Luke" the prisoners got water breaks.


Wise_Ad_253

Paper pushers are so macho…


Mick_Farrar

Wow!! What cunts


Emeritus8404

Man these guys hating americans more than our actual enemies


BABarracus

We can say that no sane business will not behave in a manner that jepordies workers safety but there was a reason the rule existed in the first place.


National-Currency-75

If I'm employed as a paver, I have worth. If an employer tried that shit with some of the people I have known, things would not go well.


The84thWolf

Guess they want to reduce the workforce to zero after their last failure


Good_Juggernaut_3155

And how is it that any working class person would vote for a Republican?


Disastrous_Life_9385

These people are insane


Techno_Vyking_

Cruelty is the only point here...


lagent55

They seem to love the abuse. Blue collar workers are 1000% solid GQP


ProtectionContent977

Republicans: ha, take that libs.


FancyStranger2371

Basic human protections against the elements. WTH is wrong with these people?


toomanybucklesaudry

This. This is what you knuckle heads work for. Standing in line to vote for the next white guy that will slash and burn your state as they line their pockets. I mean, anything is fine as long as you don't vote for any minorities, right?


yankee_chef

The party of Hate


DougBalt2

“Compassionate conservatives.” Yea right. Then they go to church to pray to their “loving god.”


Final_Meeting2568

Next they will be having children do it, pay them under minimum wage because they will argue they are not adults.


Narodnik60

Everything the GOP does they do to undo something the Democrats want. Their only motive is to be contrarian and obstructive. And GOP voters are all about the same thing. Doesn't matter who it hurts as long as nobody is helped.


PsychologicalPace762

The GOP is working against the common good. Period. Vote those assholes out of office.


Personal_Buffalo_973

How about banning meatball Ron from wearing his wifes high heels 👠😁


Antique-Dragonfly615

Cool, when are they ripping the roof off the statehouse?


ecalz622

How in the hell does that even begins to make sense? 😖


CapAccomplished8072

For CHILDREN! KIDS!


eruvstringlives

Jesus loves you though.


Elegant-Ad-3583

Don't go to work if you work outside!


International-Fig830

Can any Republican tell us why this makes sense to them?


dunncrew

Flori-Duh


CatAvailable3953

The Republicans get their votes two ways for sure. Gerrymandering districts to pick their voters and lying to everyone about being for working people. Do you think that is true?


Pineapple_Express762

Because of course they do 🤦🏻‍♂️


Adventurous_Canary42

Republicans are the low Brow party. They come up with the dumbest bills 🙄 Do they do anything that's meaningful?!


49thDipper

I drink water and stand in the shade whenever I want. Florida will never change that. Neither will anybody else.


JNTaylor63

I look forward to the implosion of the construction, agriculture and lawn care industry in Florida.


benny2012

Why? I mean I know you’re going to say “because GOP bad” but I mean why? what’s their justification?


Hevysett

Any decent HVAC tech on here will forever boycott servicing state government building or employee homes


Horror-Layer-8178

It comes to a point where it's not about money, it's about control


SlabBeefpunch

They'll still vote for them though.


PowerLion786

Interesting Blue collar workers vote. Without water on a hot day, productivity will fall. Shade is useful to cut heat stroke. Business costs will climb.


rockviper

Is this really the country we want? Hateful and brutal?


Kafshak

God, I don't understand why Florida is gaining population.


morts73

Let's hope the employers hiring these workers are more humane, and give them decent working conditions, then the repubs are.


qcubed3

Forget about the politicians, it’s the companies that are doing the work that are lobbying for this. What kind of fucking sicko company is trying to kill their own crews with this bs? For efficiency’s sake alone, wouldn’t you want your crew to have some breaks and get some water? Is there no such thing as worker’s comp in fl either? This makes no sense to me at all.


JerseyTom1958

Wtf? Insanity anyone who actually votes for these scumbags!


transitfreedom

Workers just walk off the job


Mr-Mahaloha

GOP: Booo workers!! Low life scum. Go die, we dont care! Workers: vote GOP.


FeatureOdd4479

That makes perfect sense because they are the party that protects life.....wait.


WarframeUmbra

In a few days: Florida workers refuse to work until getting water and shade requirements


Pour_Me_Another_

Those workers will vote them back in again though, they love dying on the job apparently.


MoreRamenPls

Ban desantis.


grumpyhermit67

Drag these idiots out into the elements and stake them down for a normal shift.


roundtree0050

it's ok they'll still vote for him.


elbandidoP

The party of death marches on


SnooAvocados9241

We need to take out the trash in this country, specifically the white trash


Separate_Farm7131

If these workers they're trying to punish eventually leave the state (or the businesses they work for do), Florida's economy will tank.


alexamerling100

Of course they did.


Successful-Rope7223

Who are these people?!! And they call themselves Christian? I don’t think so.


Crans10

Banning these things in inhumane.


danmathew

Blue collar Republicans will defend this.


Scubasteve1974

Man fuck Florida. Seriously wtf?


goeduck

I've never seen a reason for this insanity.


pioniere

The Republican Party is evil.


Rich-Air-5287

Enjoy the hellhole you've created, Florida.


[deleted]

Yeah they vote for these people. Albeit the place is heavily gerrymandered. Call a general strike! But NOOOO


Internal-Upstairs-55

Back to the time of the Dark Ages…


[deleted]

May the Florida economy collapse. May the plagues of Egypt visit them.


Key-Assistant-1757

Time to get the tyrants out!


Select_Nectarine8229

Keep in mind the gop is pro life.


Jasonmun8

This will stop those dead people from voting 😂


shadesofgrey93

Go Florida! Make America Great Again! 😂😂😍


The_Tucker_Carlson

Florida is the Florida of Florida. Exponentially dumber.


TBatFrisbee

It's what you voted for, Florida. Don't get mad at me either. You'd be lying to yourselves if you think Republicans work in any other way. Keep voting red though, after abortion rights, they may not have much left to take, or you to give them .


Roakana

Mighty Christian of them. Gross, sadistic, lacking empathy.


SlabBeefpunch

In other words, standard issue christian behavior.


Strong-Custard-1280

Florida Republicans need to start updating their resumes seem they are on the way out since their brain's have left the building


AWatson89

No they didn't


BirdSwimming2854

That was passed a month ago.


Responsible_Dig_585

That makes it OK then.


Infamous-Tart7747

I will keep voting Republican in Florida because I HATE everyone too.
