So, I ask...how can these videos ever be taken seriously?

I was going to bust the guy in the video's balls, but watch again. You made an incorrect assumption. He credited his raise to Trump tax cuts and used the term "minimum wage" instead of "starting wage" to reference the wages his employer and others were paying. I understand the assumption you made as
somewhere between 50-80% of people attribute credit or blame to levels of government that have nothing to do with the situation.
Case in point, 30 states have higher than the federal minimum wage, and some cities even top their state minimum wage. So if someone in California said "Under Biden I got $20 an hour to work at McDonalds", obviously Biden had nothing to do with it, that was on Governor Newsom. Same thing with Covid protocols, that was on state and locale governments, nothing to do with Trump or Biden.
So the moral of the story is most voters are dumbasses when it comes to how politics effect us and those dumbasses vote for both parties. I do believe since most of the media leans left there are more lefty dumbasses that righties.
