Union busting
Rolling back regulations
The list goes on....
A small correction:
They're pretty fucking happy to introduce new ones and leave existing ones alone when it serves to fuck over the average citizen or LGBTQ+ community.
Those things are evil but I don't see how they're anti-democratic.
Union busting undermines the democratic co-determination in the company. However, for an American it is probably shocking that this does exist at all (at least in civilized countries). 😉
A policy that constricts the enfranchisement of the general public is anti-democratic.
If, every year, you introduce a set of laws that makes felons out of half your political opposition, you quickly create for yourself a one party monopoly.
Making felons out of your opposition through... deregulation and union busting? Huh?
Also felons should be able to vote, even when they're in prison. The fact that they can't is undemocratic.
You're preaching to the choir. But you're also making my point.
Also, I'd hardly call the criminalization of LGBTQ communities, migrant communities, and women's health clinics a deregulatory policy.
Look at what I was replying to. It specifically mentioned union busting, deregulation, and nothing else.
