Once the have total control, then the poor will be jettisoned as well.
Currently, you see this in the DNC with private sector unions. Liberals despise private sector unions because they are in manufacturing that pollutes and looks ugly.
Private sector unions have become so small, that you are starting to see the DNC abandon them in favor of wealthy environmentalists. As gov’t grows, so do public sector unions that faithfully channel funds to the DNC.....more faithfully than those nasty private sector unions.
We will see the same with Hispanics in our lifetimes. Once the DNC has loyal support from Hispanics, expect blacks to be ignored. Their vote will no longer be crucial to holding power.
For liberals, it is all about who will keep them in power.
Having been a member of a private sector union, I can say I observed this close up. The problem is while I saw this, most of the die hard members were blind to this and voted in lockstep for "The Won". All I ever heard was "We have to elect pro-labor Democrats." They'd spout this nonsense while about 30% of the total membership was out of work collecting unemployment.
The thing I learned really quickly after joining was that although you have a "right" to withhold that portion of your dues that goes to political campaigns, and you can refuse to have $2.00/paycheck "donated" to the unions political action fund, if you want to work at all you don't dare exercise those "rights".
