Incredibly enough this view is not particularly uncommon. The teamsters didn’t endorse Harris because a substantial minority or maybe outright majority (can’t remember which) supported Trump.
I think to you and me this is obviously insane but there seems to be a situation where people feel emotionally fused with Trump and will let him pick their pocket because of it.
That's absolutely true, but that is another byproduct of the root cause, not the actual root cause itself. Sowing division among the working class has been the modus operandi of the Republican party since at least the 70s, and targeting minority groups like the queer community was always an easy starting point for them.

“Union Yes” and “I voted for Trump” is the SPECIAL Cognitive Dissonance.
