Trump voters WANT a minimum wage increase. Seriously?!?!?!

[Bengus81]

Trump TOLD these people over and over and over that the current MW is TOO HIGH. He also told them he was going to toss Obama care in the trash can ASAP. NOW....his voters want BOTH. My gawd.................

"Lee County, where Beattyville is located, went overwhelmingly (81%) for Trump. Around town, there are frequent sightings of men wearing red "Trump" or "Make America Great Again" hats. Even in this red Kentucky enclave, many Trump voters here want to see the minimum wage raised."

1. Cognitive dissonance.

They voted for the wrong person, party and political philosophy. This is how racism an xenophobia degrade the brain.

4. I was in a Subway restaurant, saw they had raised prices.

I asked about it, worker said "It's because minimum wage just went up." I said "You don't all make minimum wage, do you?" She said "yes".
So, they raised the prices but immediately ran a special deal for the entire month of February.
