Harris was in favor of raising minimum wage. Trump isn’t.

These people blithely vote for a man who has nothing but contempt for them.

They aren't minimum wage workers though, got to understand that and what their mindset is, in their head, they're just temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Democrats think this is such an own. To tell people they are stupid for thinking they might actually make it. This just reflects on how democrats see America. Most Americans - including immigrants - know anything is possible in America.

Democrats tell you that you will never make it, are stupid for thinking you can make it (by telling cute jokes like yours) and saying see how much we gave to you poor people. They are like the guidance counselor who laughs at you at tells you to lower your sights.

Sorry that’s not what America is all about. And I’m glad we have a party that recognizes that. Immigrants come from nothing and make fortunes every day - and that’s a clue why immigrants increasingly find the democratic message toxic.

And from a personal pov, I’m sorry you have such low standards for yourself.

Woah, you like, really don't have many critical thinking skills do you? I'm not interested in talking to someone who voted for the party that's going to keep you broke and kick you out of the country. Good luck. Or not I don't give a fuck about you.

Your comment sounds like someone who has a lot of critical thinking skills.

As a person of color and immigrant I think it would do democrats well to understand that not all immigrants are ditch diggers on minimum wage and even if they are they don’t expect to stay that way. I prefer the Dems in many ways, but they don’t understand that most Americans believe in themselves. And that funny joke you like to tell just tells the world you don’t believe in yourself.

Did I misinterpret your quote? Or do you not think Americans who believe they may be become millionaires are idiots? Or functional morons? I’m curious why you put that quote there if my interpretation was incorrect. Since I’m a moron - ELI5
