In reply to the discussion: Meat plant workers to Trump: Employees aren't going to show up [View all]whopis01
(3,498 posts)51. To be clear, I never said that the workers voted for Trump.
I said this was in states that went for Trump. That is a fact.
Others have tried to spin this into an opportunity to punish people for how they voted. That is about as far from my intent as you can possibly get.
My point was this is Trump directly hurting people in a state that went for him in the last election. This needs to get pushed in the media to try to get that state (and others) to go against him in the next election.
Maybe some people in that state who voted for him last time won't vote for him this time.
Maybe some people that didn't vote last time will come out and vote for Biden this time.
That was my point.

Yeah, but the same thinking workers know there is employment out there, and they'll look.
