Nobody I know complains about not being able to find workers or having to wait an extra 2 minutes for a pizza or finding a repairperson as fast as they want more than Republican voters.

They also blame everyone and everything imaginable except what the reality is.

Trump, covid slowed down immigration. Now employers can’t find workers:

Just like in the UK, where in our case, brexit and Suella Braverman have combined to discourage workers from outside the UK. So vegetable and fruit crops rot in the fields, the NHS is understaffed etc. Right wing thinking lacks humanity and common sense. It just does not work.

@Melinda That’s an excellent observation and too true. Anti-immigration movements in the United States are tilted against anyone who tries to enter certain areas that doesn’t easily assimilate into whiteness. It makes no sense economically as jobs that are essential go unfulfilled, and it exacerbates hate.

The irony is that those who wanted brexit are not at all keen on filling the field work jobs. They complained that the 'foreigners' were taking their jobs, but did not see that they were doing the sort of jobs that they would never want anyway! Crazy.

Yep, the right wing seems to have the same effect everywhere.
