Reagan fired the air traffic controllers without bothering to think that through, and aviation in the USA is still suffering the after-effects of that as the workers that were trained up to fill those gaps now all retire at the same time. I don't doubt the Republicans would make the same mistake twice, especially given that these ones are far stupider than Reagan's people.

I mean I think it was valid Trump was pretty consistent in his votes over all three elections. The Dems had a spike during Biden and a crash during Haris. The truth is the left just couldn't be bothered to keep him out a second time.

'The left' liberals didn't vote for Harris. I mean the left didn't either, but the reason Harris lost was because of standard ol liberals choosing not to vote for brown George w bush.
Paragone@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 313d
From what I saw, through the stuff on the internet, the White-supremacists were solidly Trump, the male-supremacists were solidly Trump, AND Trump used a voter-deregistration law, through some local Republicans, to remove Democrats from voting-rolls, in key swing-states.
AND many Democrats refused to vote.
When all 4 of those come together, then you have the real basis for the result that happened.
sigh .. yet-again, journalism got disappeared off the internet, in order to prevent any accountability or leverage-causing-necessary-change..
Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google can find the journalism I'd read about that voter-deregistration having already been used as a partisan weapon, with the obvious consequence that it can be used again to immense effect, in 2026 & 2028.
Welcome to the for-profit-only "reality" we live-in..
( I'm going to be saving offline-copies of all such journalism, from now on, because of this bullshit.
Without knowing history, it isn't possible to be competent to avoid re-enacting it!

Not that it is journalism, but I've noticed comment sections have mostly disappeared, as well. Sure, papers can claim it costs money and they have to moderate, etc....but I found it very interesting, for example, that just before the 2024 election, The Denver Post decided to close its comment section for good.
I've seen it in various smaller papers, too.

buddascrayon@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 318d
It's actually not the boomers who elected Reagan. It was their parents and the generation that immediately followed them. Boomers, that is the actual baby boom generation (born 1946 to 1955), voted overwhelmingly against Reagan.
Rubisco@slrpnk.net · 9 pts · 318d
I disagree.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_boomers
In 1980, it was kinda close, 45v44 (18-21yo) and 44v44 (22-29yo), but I wouldn't say they were "overwhelmingly against". By 1984 they seemed quite in favor of him. They had help, no doubt, but they were not largely against; marginally against at most.

buddascrayon@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 318d
This is an incomplete picture. Because it's from exit polls it only accounts for those who actually voted. It doesn't take in to account at all those who abstained. And it doesn't list by generation just by 10-year increments. And generations don't fall into neat 10-year increments. At that point in time boomers were anywhere from 20 to 35.
Rubisco@slrpnk.net · 4 pts · 318d
Abstained? You mean helped Reagan win? How'd that strategy work out?
False. Behold, arithmetic!
1980 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-21 (1962-1959) =3
22-29 (1958-1951) =7
30-44 (1950-1936) =14
45-59 (1935-1921) =14
60+ (1920-past)
1984 election
Age (DOB) Range
18-24 (1966-1960) =6
25-29 (1959-1955) =4
30-49 (1954-1935) =19
50-64 (1934-1920) =14
65+ (1919-past)
What they lack is a neat cutoff at 1945.
No one is doing that.
Wikipedia:
More arithmetic! 1964-1946=18
1945-1960. Sure. Seems a breath away from a neat ten year increment, but sure.

The most-important 2 books on understanding US politics, is Woodard's "American Nations", on the 11 nations inhabiting North America, & how they are stable, once instantiated,
& Thom Hartmann's "Screwed", on what real national-prosperity is ( I've only read the beginning of that, & it's the 1st-time I've understood what's wrong with normal "economics", as presented by everybody else ).
IF one looks carefully, as Woodard did, one can see that the votes follow specific counties that are culturally-aligned, in these 11 nations.
It isn't "all boomers", rather, it is in the Tidewater region, votes went this-way, in the New York region, votes went that way, in Yankeedom, they went this other way, etc..
The book "The Big Sort" is on how polarization is self-creating the ultimate only-political-monocultures US of A.
That, of course, is going to make the US's Civil War Part2 be .. more territorial in its ideological-basis, .. ( & that has implications, too ), but .. it's still down to regional-cultures defining/controlling the US's fate.
Woodard's book is sooo important, that I wouldn't consider moving anywhere in North America without seeing which culture was ruling that county, now.

Reagan did it in 1981 and it didn't cause a collapse. 11000 air traffic controllers went on strike and Reagan fired all of them. This is arguably what started the decline of unions in the US.
It was fucked up then, and it would be even more fucked up now, but in reality the industry would move on pretty quickly. Hopefully the people would rise up in response, but I'm not holding my breath.

Reagan was just following the well trodden path that Jackson and Wilson blazed, and Nixon trimmed the edges.
The only reason that I put Jackson into a tie with Wilson for worst president is that Wilson did far more long term damage, but Jackson orchestrated The Trail of Tears, and several other genocides, as well as paid off the national debt entirely. This helped contribute to the longest and deepest (by percentage, not dollar amount) depression the country has ever seen.

They are desperately short workers, even in the best of times, so their response is to fire the few workers they have from one of the most notoriously stressful jobs on the planet?
What is more likely to happen is that they will fire controllers loudly and publicly, lose every single lawsuit, be forced to rehire them, which they would have done anyway because they need them so badly, except they will also pay all back pay, also significant damages, an enormous fine, and if the employee is smart, they'll demand an enormous raise in pay to return.

There was a "Yes, Minister!" episode on this principle:
The new minister was having a driver, driving him to wherever, so he could use the time as office-time, in the back..
They shamed him into quitting that, & he became significantly less-effective, which was what the attack had intended.
IF the people are being productive in the air, then I'd put them in a set of gov't-owned aircraft, secret-clearance all the way through, so they could do real work, while on the job.
However, I'd also force them to use normal-airlines when going 'round for their vacations, so they get actual commercial-airline experience, so they know what they're representees are experiencing.
Sometimes the right answer is to convert travel-time into work-time, & if you can't do that on a public flight, then yes, private-aircraft are the means, but it ought be gov't owned, not personally-owned or chartered.
It must serve the country, not the privileged, see?
