Republican Party is the Party for the working people of America?

Is that why they are against an increase in the minimum wage?

Is that why they are against the extra $400 per week for unemployment supplemental?

Is that why every single one of them was against the Covid-19 Bill?

They were against everything that helped the working people of this country.

It puts a lie to their claim that they are the Party for working people.

They haven't changed.

If non white people are successful and make decent money, they will move in next door. Can’t have that!! I have heard that often from wing nut relatives.

I think about it and it makes my head swim that these good working people follow only one issue or one icon and despite all things that will go along with the Repubs having control, they will vote against their and their children's onw self interests in the long term.
