      Jeet Heer Retweeted Ross Douthat

      If Rubio does really endorse the unionization drive (reported op-ed isn't out yet) then that will be the first sign that the new right populism actually has a populist policy component & isn't just culture wars whining.https://twitter.com/DouthatNYT/status/1370369746210807808 …

      I've assumed that backing unions would be a hard line (so to speak) for even would-be populist Republicans to cross, so this is significant from Rubio: https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-74613f04-4ec9-4d5a-813f-a4530fa5bc8b.html?chunk=8&utm_term=twsocialshare#story8 …

      Very curious whether it plays out in any legislative decisions. This move - if it's borne out by the oped - seems largely opportunistic and driven by Biden. Opportunistic in the sense of one hopeful casting about for traction. But I think it's still a very big deal inasmuch ...

      2/ as it's signaling to the employees in Alabama that their effort has broad political backing.

      Right, it's significant in the same way Biden's endorsement of the unionization drive was. Biden's obviously moreso since he's president but it's a big thing for a Republican to do this.

          Except that it's Rubio. He's a peon, not a leader.

          Ultimately it's still words. You may have heard that Republicans often use words but then act in opposition to their words. So maybe let's not take anything at face value anymore, no matter how novel it seems.

          OG McDuck Retweeted Zack Beauchamp

          Maybe judge Republicans for who they are, not for who we wish they were. It's not as if Rubio doesn't have an EXTENSIVE track record in this area, or hasn't spent every day of his career being disingenuous AF.https://twitter.com/zackbeauchamp/status/1370385646028722179?s=19 …

          His op-ed defending his choice is risible. He very clearly thinks unions in general are bad and is trying to turn the Amazon fight into part of the culture war https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2021/03/12/amazon-union-not-helping-working-class-economy-column/6947823002/ … pic.twitter.com/B1ZTuWnwK4
