14. Talking about the long roots of demonizing Dems

I found some printed jokes my Dad kept, from the 30's and forward. Many of them were political, and against Democrats and democratic ideals. I knew he was an R, but his idea of humor was a surprise.

I heard a podcast a long time ago that corporations and other entities created out an anti-union message a 100 years ago, and have turned a lot of people against unions, so many people who would benefit from standing united, instead of supporting the companies. And the stance against progressive programs started up not much later.
