    I work in the trades, in a deeply red state.

    There are a few against it but for the most part people I work with support a minimum wage raise.

    I work with some shitty people but don’t put that evil on us.

      I’m sure they say a lot of things, but when it comes down to it, they likely vote for people who are fighting against raising the minimum wage. And if it came down to a ballot initiative, they would vote against it.
