> reinforce the perception that Republicans have nothing but contempt for the American worker.

I disagree...this bill is hurting the "right" people and there are plenty of constituents who want to use the legal system to do just that: stick it to the people they don't like.

This reads to me more like an elaboration on the above rather than a disagreement with it. After all, the "right people" being hurt are, in fact, American workers.

My interpretation is that their base will not perceive this as contempt for American workers, but as a boon for "real" workers who don't want to support the laziness of entitled workers who want to work from home. This can be perceived as pro-worker from that perspective.

The base doesn't consider those people "True" americans and don't think they deserve rights.

The base doesn’t consider anybody thinking differently from them as a “true” American and as such are undeserving of rights. Frankly, I’m getting really sick and tired of these people.
