A friend and former coworker just posted a link to a video by Mike Rowe, of “Dirty Jobs” fame. I encourage you to watch it, in its entirety, so that you have the context for my reply. Here is a link Mike Rowe's Podcast - on Facebook
, or you can see it at his site: mikerowe.com
My reply:
I like Mike Rowe, and what he is doing to promote the trades, but this is just another version of the "Suck it up Buttercup" BS coming from the right. If we are going to take the Civil War example, that Rowe just related, it all started because the South feared Lincoln was going to extend human rights to blacks - which is the exact opposite of us bleeding heart liberals -who are taking Trump at his word - in which case members of my family will be treated as second class citizens - precisely because they are not the rural, white, heterosexual Christians that Trump promised to restore to their historical supremacy. Second of all, Lincoln was not the Czar’s bitch.
