They arn't even trying to hide it anymore.

Republicons hate labor and want to destroy it's history, they always have. They don't want people knowing that organized labor ever existed, built the middle class and provided prosperity or the struggle labor has had in the past with the same corporatists and oligarchy that Maine Gov. Paul LePage works so hard for. Kinda like Winston sending the truth down the memory hole in Orwell's '1984.' Basically if they hide the truth it won't exist in a generation and their control will be complete. But then the truth has never been good to corporatists and their Republicon toadies like LePage.
 
"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement. They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again. They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
President Harry S. Truman
