The Firefighters didn't endorse anyone. Now they have a dumpster fire in the White House. (lemm.ee)

The fire service is incredibly right wing, the IAFF didn't back Kamala because trump supporting firefighters would have an aneurysm if they did despite it being in their best interests. She's pro union and Trump is anti union. It's a no brainer that a union should support her.

I'm a firefighter. Basically everybody I work with is a rabid trump supporter. They're extremely opinionated but are completely ignorant on basic politics. For instance we were talking about Ukraine, they were saying Trump would end the war immediately. I said yes by withholding support so Ukraine is forced to make concessions to Russia, which is what Trump has stated he'll do. I shit you not one of them said "No I think Trump will just go up to Putin and say 'You have to stop this or we're gonna fuck you up' and Putin will listen because he knows Trump means business." I used to think it was difference of opinion but they truly are just completely uninformed, the shit they say makes no logical sense.
