As a bonus, any Republicans who oppose the increase in minimum wage can be painted as evil villains, who only have the evil rich and evil corporations’ interests in mind, which the simpletons who vote Democrats will hear over and over thru the nationalized propaganda machine.

Our problem is, that many of those supposedly "on our side", actually can be fairly characterized that way.

Proof you say, simply look at their support of Amnesty.

True, but that is in a different context. The Dems (albeit for different reasons) would agree on amnesty with those on our side, but when it comes to the minimum wage, they believe they have a stick to beat up Republicans, regardless their stance on immigration.
