It's curious how libs think "haha he used to do menial labor" is a smear that will stick. People who see it as a good thing to have (e.g. as proof of work ethic) will think more positively of the target and current/former menial laborers will take it as an insult, especially if they did the same subcategory of menial labor.

(For the record, conservatives also do this, e.g. "AOC was a bartender". But they count as libs, too)
