The overwhelming majority of my department and most in my area are very Right and far right politically. To each their own, I always steer away from political conversations at station. I always found it funny because their politics actively go against their own wages and benefits.

Have family that is in fire… all right or far right.
What always confuses me is that they’re one of the highest paid unions in my state. And yet they constantly bitch about socialism.
Same arguments from people I know in the trades, especially electricians.
Do they not know what unions are? How they were formed? Do they not understand how they pay into a big pool so they all get benefits? Aka SOCIALISM???
Here’s to being one of the good ones bud. Keep doing what you’re doing and fuck the idiots. Keep your head down and retire early.
Edit: I have to add that they’re always buddy buddy with law enforcement, who are also massively union. Who also are all right or far right. Makes no sense in my mind.
What you’ve described is exactly the ethos of conservativism. It’s not really about socialism, guns, religion, or their idea of liberty; it never was. It’s about defining an in group, being in that group and disenfranchisement or outright persecution of any that are outside that group. That is the only pole holding up the former big tent political ideology. Nothing else matters. That’s why they are so easily manipulated as a group to advocate for political positions that run counter to their own personal interests.
Exactly this. I love my job and I love the people I work with even though I don’t agree with their politics. I just laugh it off, bunch of wonderful idiots
My roommate is CalFire, owns a bunch of guns and… Is liberal and progressive as Bernie fucking Sanders. I know that’s not much help to you, but, they’re out there!
Hell yeah haha
Not a firefighter yet, but a Candidate. I’m pretty left when it comes to most things, healthcare, women’s rights, LGBTQIA+, etc. but I am pro 2A which is very not leftist
Since when do leftists actually serve their community? You’re pretty unique if you’re telling the truth.
I know you’re just a worthless troll that wandered too far from r/conservative, but you’re also wrong, at least in the U.S.
