“The Civil Rights Act was the Treaty of Versailles for white people,” MAGA personality Jack Posobiec blurted out in January 2024.
That’s utterly ridiculous - but it just perfectly captures the sentiment that is driving the revanchist project of both MAGA and the AfD.

the biggest “job creator” in america is walmart, a third of whose employees are on public assistance
This fact also completely defangs any argument about “job creators.” Job creation means nothing when the jobs being created don’t lead to any reasonable standard of living.
A Labor Day reminder: having a job is no longer enough to protect millions of Americans from homelessness.
For many workers, the greatest threat isn't losing their job. It's that their job will never pay enough, never provide enough hours, never offer enough stability to keep them housed.
