The Spin
Left narrative
May Day celebrates workers' fight for justice, dignity, and equality — values at the heart of a fair society. It honors solidarity, from farm fields to classrooms, against attacks on labor rights. Trump's anti-union policies, like gutting federal workers' protections and safety agencies, betray working families. This May Day, thousands of people stand united for better wages, safer workplaces, and a democracy that uplifts all, not just the elite.
Right narrative
May Day began as a celebration of spring and later honored workers' fight for an eight-hour workday, rooted in the 1890 global strikes and the Haymarket Affair. It wasn't inherently communist, but corrupt leftists have certainly hijacked it, turning it into a stage for radical, anti-liberty agendas. Their nonsensical protests, like those smearing Trump as a dictator, distort the day's labor origins, pushing divisive Marxist rhetoric that fuels chaos over unity.
