AL Political Reporter: “There is controversy in Conservative Land.
The controversy, it seems, is that workers — specifically, those in at-will, conservative-controlled states, like Alabama — have very few rights. They can lose their jobs, conservatives across the country have realized over the last month or so, for just dang-near anything, including refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
For some reason, the conservative working class is surprised by this.
The progressive working class is not. At all.
Do you remember, conservatives, all those times that you went into polling booths and voted for at-will candidates because somehow they convinced you that working for less money and fewer benefits was a badge of honor? Do you remember your lib-rul coworkers and neighbors telling you that you’d one day regret voting away all of your rights?
Well, this is the result.
Now, I must say that it’s painfully unfortunate that we’ve arrived at this place of conservative enlightenment because of such a stupid reason — that you don’t want to take the vaccine for the plague that’s killed 650,000 Americans and currently has Alabama’s hospitals jam packed. But here we are nonetheless, and we need to take advantage of this opportunity.”
