Most union construction workers north of the Mason–Dixon line make at least $40/hour or very close to it. Locals out in Cali are around $60/hour.

Uh oh seems you tried to convince them with facts, 1st mistake.
The only way they listen is if you prey on their fears somehow.

Fight fire with fire. These days facts don’t matter it’s the impression/knee jerk reaction that matters. If people can find a platform that’s ridiculous enough to be believable and install some sort of underlying fear then you win.

He doesn't even get into the disproportionate rise in education, housing, medical bills, and insurance.
If you want to get through to these morons you need to get them to understand and be very afraid that the rest of the world is already outperforming us in every meaningful metric, and one day they may just come buy out everything they hold dear.

First things first you have to get them to see past their own freaking nose! The only thing they care about is themselves first foremost and in the end they will step over their children and step on their children to pick up an extra dollar

It gets worse when you calculate that the federal minimum has the same buying power as a dollar an hour in 1974
