Missouri Minimum Wage Hike & MAGA

A scathing rebuke of Democratic Party tactics starts with a recent local vote for context. 

Check-it . . .

"A voter walks to a polling station in Kansas City of Nov. 5. In Missouri, 57.6% of voters supported a ballot measure to increase the state’s minimum wage to $15, while 58.5% voted for Donald Trump.

"In exit polls, almost two-thirds of voters rated the economy as 'not so good/poor,' and 69% of those who said the economy was bad voted for Donald Trump. In 2020, Biden won people making less than $50,000 by 10 points. This year, Trump didn’t just shrink that lead, he outright won the demographic by a point, 49%-48%. That’s the election.

"Donald Trump’s economic policies are clearly not targeted at improving conditions for low-wage workers. But many of those workers fear the same about the Democrats. And they violently agree with Trump’s complaint that the current economy is not working. The sad truth is that many workers have no confidence that Democrats are willing or able to deliver for them. They have so little faith in Democrats that they chose to side with the billionaire, who passed historic tax cuts for himself and other billionaires, over the alternative."
