    Did you not read my whole comment? Union busting has been a thing carried out by police and sheriffs all over this country. We have never had a good nation. Not until the New Deal was created. And now all of that is being wiped away.

      I did read your whole comment. You stated that the country has “always been this way”, illustrated with one example, and claimed that this sums up our whole history. It doesn’t. But in our new meme-fueled standard of social discourse the world consists only of all-or-nothing Good vs Evil false dichotomies, so what’s the use.
