For 40 years the GOP has dismantled the post WW2 policies that created the post war boom.
If the GOP had their way there would be no government programs and plutocrats would simply make us slaves. And they are too fucking stupid to see that that is what Communist China does to its population. They have no rights. You do what they say and you do it for the state and you don't question the state.
Union busting started in 1874 in the US. If you want to blame Reagan for firing the air traffic controllers, you have to blame Kennedy as well.

Kennedy may have. But what kind of makeup was congress at the time? Presidents often sign bills they don't like because that is the way the process works. A bill goes through the House and Senate then lands on the Presidents desk. They can veto it, but if they see it will pass again, either way, the Constitution forces the President to sign the bill the second time it lands on their desk. Many times they sign it the first time because they know a veto wont stop it.
And as far as business vs workers, America has always had a long history of businesses always trying to crush labor to keep costs down.
But in this case, this wasn't a congressional law Trump signed, this was an executive order. This is undermining, not only the First Amendment and the right to peaceably assemble, it is a clear affront to the idea of separation of powers.
