Senator Josh Hawley wants the Republican Party to truly represent the working class
He's got part of the story right but until he deals with vaccine injury all of his proposed remedies will fail
This past Saturday I was struck by an unusual headline in the Wall Street Journal, “Can the GOP Become a Real Working-Class Party?”
I come out of the labor movement and the Republican Party has not tried to appeal to the working class in forty years. So this headline really got my attention.
The author, Gerald Seib, points out that the two parties have basically swapped their base of support over the last generation. White voters without a college degree now support Republicans over Democrats by a margin of 2 to 1 (65% to 32%). Working class Blacks and Latinos (particularly men) are increasingly voting Republican as well. But the Republican Party does almost nothing for them economically in return and instead offers up red meat social issues (opposing abortion, supporting gun rights, and objecting to “woke” ideology in schools) in order to maintain working class support.
The effort to reshape the Republican Party to truly represent the economic interests of the working class is led by Josh Hawley, U.S. Senator from Missouri.
Senator Hawley kicked off the effort with a provocative Opinion piece in the Washington Post shortly after the midterm elections titled, “The GOP is Dead. A New GOP Must Listen to Working People.”
To my surprise, Senator Hawley’s critique is pretty decent. He’s got the first part of the argument exactly right:
Free trade policy beginning with Bill Clinton in 1992 (NAFTA, China’s entry into the World Trade Organization) sent millions of good-paying manufacturing jobs to Mexico and overseas. This decimated small town America. People living in former factory towns experienced massive unemployment, disability, and chronic pain — and Pharma flooded these towns with opioids that are now killing 100,000 Americans every year.
Senator Hawley has a number of proposed remedies:
• Stop illegal immigration;
• Protect Social Security;
• Impose tariffs on foreign goods to foster American industry;
• Require “made in America” content for federal contracts; and
• “Take the shackles off U.S. energy producers” (read: drill for oil and allow fracking too).
He also wants to break up the Big Tech monopolies like Google, provide a parent tax credit for working families, and adopt a Parents’ Bill of Rights.
This is a refreshing change from Republican orthodoxy that has pushed free trade for 50 years. And I like the fact that Senator Hawley is trying to refashion the Republican Party into a majoritarian party again that competes to win more than 50% of the vote by appealing to independents and disaffected (Reagan) Democrats.
The problem is that none of it is going to work because his theory of the case is incomplete. From here on out any politician or political party that refuses to confront the problem of vaccine injury will fail in spectacular fashion.
Here’s what I would like Senator Hawley and all Americans to understand. Pharma is assaulting the American people in at least five different ways:
1. Pharma flooded the rustbelt with opioids that kill 100,000 Americans every year. (Senator Hawley has this part of the story right but he does not have the rest of the story.)
2. Prescription drugs when used as directed kill another 100,000 Americans every year. That’s because the FDA is captured by Pharma and approves everything. Of course it turns out that many of these poorly-tested drugs are toxic and deadly.
3. Hospital errors kill another 100,000 Americans every year. That’s because working conditions for hospital staff are often abusive and horrible and also because Pharma has captured the pharmacy benefits managers inside hospitals and get them to recommend treatments that are profitable but not necessarily safe or effective.
4. The childhood vaccine schedule leads to iatrogenic injury and chronic illness in over half of the population. The childhood schedule imposes over a trillion dollars a year in costs on the American people and chains people to expensive treatments for the rest of their lives just to survive. In the process Pharma gets rich but it becomes impossible for the American people to thrive.
5. Covid shots, that were authorized based on ridiculous data, are killing and maiming Americans at an astonishing rate. Blood clots, myocarditis, strokes, turbo cancer, and Sudden Adult Death Syndrome are everywhere. My best guess is that Pharma is making another trillion dollars a year off of Covid shots and their aftermath.
So yeah, sane immigration policy, fair trade deals, and tax credits for working families are great. But they won’t matter because Pharma is literally poisoning most Americans. We’re in the middle of World War III — Pharma against humanity — and only a handful of politicians seem to understand this. As I’ve said many times, if we don’t stop Pharma, there will be no United States of America within about a decade.
To his credit, Senator Hawley has pushed back hard against vaccine mandates from the Biden Administration. In an interview with a Missouri TV station, Senator Hawley described vaccine mandates this way:
“What these people want is power, they want to tell you what to do, they want to tell you what medicines to take and what not to take, they want to tell you how to live your life, they want to tell your children what they can do with their lives and how they should go to school and how you as a parent should raise them. It is a massive power grab. That’s what this has been about. That’s what all these mandates are about. And that’s really going to be Joe Biden's legacy.”
That’s spot on. So I feel like Senator Hawley has the potential to understand this larger narrative that I’m pointing toward. But at this point, I will only vote for politicians who speak directly to the problem of vaccine injury, the havoc vaccines are causing in American society, and the need to permanently prohibit vaccine mandates nationwide while holding Pharma accountable.
I should add that the working class gets all of this. They are the essential workers that bear the brunt of vaccine mandates and they receive no help from the government when they are injured and disabled by these shots. The working class sees their public schools falling apart because students are unruly and teachers cannot manage the situation because too many kids are neurologically impaired by the shots. They see vaccine injury in their church congregations. Their kids are subject to the lower quality “free” shots from the Vaccines for Children Program. They know about vaccine injury from first-hand experience and from talking with friends and neighbors. They know what it’s like to be disrespected by doctors and hospitals that think that they know best while doing nothing to help them. And they damn well know that the pharmaceutical industry does not care about them one bit and instead sees them as objects to be drained of their income and dignity. Working class people know that we are in the midst of a genocide and have been for quite some time and they have been wondering when politicians are finally going to start talking about it.
So if Josh Hawley really wants the GOP to become a working class party, he’s going to have to start talking about vaccine injury — and doing something to stop it.
Blessings to the warriors. 🙌
Prayers for everyone fighting to stop the iatrogenocide. 🙏
Huzzah for everyone building the parallel society our hearts know is possible. ✊
In the comments, please let me know what’s on your mind.
As always, I welcome any corrections.
Hey Toby. You are spot on re: this post. All of it. And I believe no politician will listen to your great suggestions. Personally, I'm with you 100%. Your demands HAVE to be addressed at some point. Soon. But, they won't be. All politicians, actually all everyone who has ANY clout, is bought off, in a huge way.
A question to you. I stopped receiving notifications that you had uploaded a new article. Same happened with Steve Kirsch SS and two others. Are you and/or Substack banning folks? That's what I figured happened and just let it drop. You don't want me, I don't want/need you is my attitude.
But someone else wrote me and said he quit receiving notifications from two other SS'ers. Then this a.m., had 3 people write me and said the same is happening to them. We all just figured we had suddenly been banned b/c we are really, really bad folks?
Do you have any info on what's up with this? Do you all (SS'ers) have the ability to censor/shut down folks you don't agree with .. or whatever reason 'they' (Substack admin or Substack authors) dream up?
I guess if this post goes through, shows something else is up? If so, Substack/You should jump on this quick before it spreads.
Thanks
EDIT: this post did go through. That's weird.
WARNING!!!!!
Just a warning to all of you who read the Toby and other Substacks, I have been starting to get emails that appear to be from various Substack sites that I follow saying they are responding to my comments.

Since they all have the same number and similar message,
I'm sure this is some new scam, but since I don't write on Substack, I'm not sure who to report this to.
Please pass this on!!!
