He's too stupid to understand what that means, so I will break it down.
Prescriptive positions are taken based on some set of beliefs - a pre-approved, pre-adopted template, so to speak. Descriptive positions are taken based on realities on the ground. A good example of the dichotomy is when you talk animal welfare with most libertarians. Their prescriptive view is that since animals have no rights to violate, animal cruelty laws = overstep. My descriptive view is that any and all cruelty to animals is a breach of the peace, since a normal, ordinary man would feel compelled to kick you in the nuts for that ****. Ergo, animal cruelty laws =/= overstep.
Anyway, he slobbers about unions because he's stupid - and his template says they are "bad," no matter WHAT history shows to be so. The fact that the "greatest generation" was extremely supportive of unions causes the lickspittle no cognitive disonance - he will lick their balls while disagreeing with everything they believed, and think himself quite "patriotic."
He's been conditioned to screech about china and cuba when the word "union" comes up - he has ruined a number of weddings with his pavlovian ranting and frothing. Slowly he turns, step by step , inch by inch...
Its fascinating to see because he is obviously intelligent, but utterly controlled by his own delusions. The capacity of the mind to maintain faith despite mountains of evidence against it
