I don’t think people understand that O’Brien represents the interests of his labor union and not the Democratic Party.

Going to the RNC and speaking at the convention was a shot across the bow to Democrats reminding them they need to pay attention to labor interests and not be taken for granted. Up until Biden no president in the last 40 years has done much for labor. Which is why Hilary lost in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

O’Briens speech was on point and focused on labor interests. It was a tacit reminder that Republicans won in 2016 because of Trumps populist appeal in those states and lost in 2020 because they did not have it. Trump has spent the last 4 years trying to appeal to labor on anti immigrantion, social issues, and racist dog whistles without giving them any economic promises.

I had a similar experience on the Star Trek Encounter in Las Vegas. They did an amazing job with the bridge of the Enterprise D!

I was genuinely sad when it shut down.
