I don't believe all republican voters are our enemy. Whenever possible we should be compassionate and help try and get them to understand things too. I know, easier said than done. But I'm very encouraged that so many are seeing this as a problem. I hope a lot of republicans and independents consider voting for democrats. Democrats have stronger solutions to reducing inequality than most republican politicians. Also, beyond the political world, I hope a lot of business leaders and people who can increase wages. The solutions to inequality extend beyond just the political world and everyone should become involved in reducing it.
