I put 140 gallons of diesel in my truck today in Northern Indiana, just off I80

25. I've been busy and this is the first time I've been able to revisit this thread

And your statement is absolutely spot on, correct

The overwhelming majority of truck drivers in this country are very hard right wing.

The propaganda campaign against unions in this country has been very effective, and the fact of the matter is that you don’t have to have a postgraduate degree in order to successfully complete a commercial drivers license exam.

I’ve known for years and I have said before that I am a member of an industry overwhelmingly populated by morons. I make no apologies for making that statement. And I know DU has several truck drivers that frequent this board, and I’m one of the longest lasting. But that doesn’t change the fact that most truck drivers are fucking dumb. It’s that simple. They’re not deep into critical thinking and, as you point out, years of the likes of the Rush Limbaugh’s and the Sean Hannity‘s of the world, being available on radio stations coast-to-coast before the days of satellite radio, have made the campaign against organized labor, even more successful.

Truck drivers will continue to vote against their best interest, as well as entirely too many Americans because we are badly educated as a people.

I’ll be 67 in a few days and I’m frankly glad I don’t have that much longer to live on this planet because conservative political and economic ideology will completely fuck over the middle class if it isn’t brought to heel.
