What about the Big Beautiful Bill makes Republicans smile (lemmy.zip)

So, Trump and many Republicans are HAPPY about the Big Beautiful Bill. I am trying to get inside the mind of someone who voted for Trump who is happy about the bill. What exactly are they happy about?

This is a serious question. I honestly just want to know what the average Trump voter who pulls in maybe 40k a year? Why is he smiling about this bill?

Serious answers only please.

You are right, I heard Kamala was planning to implement project 2025 if dumpy didn't. /s

her administration literally didn't even bother to secure the equal rights amendment; which would have nullified much of project 2025.

also a huge majority of project 2025 has been enacted since 1981.

saying this makes it clear that you value american comfort over a genocide.

Saying that makes it clear you have no intention of having a good faith, nuanced discussion of politics.

Get blocked.

When did Democrats have a supermajority in both the House and the Senate?

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Do you ever wonder why it takes a single parliamentarian or congressman to derail all Democratic state welfare initiatives like national healthcare while the Republicans steamrolled over dozens of Republicans and parliamentarians who tried to stop this most recent bill?

If you ever bother to educate yourself, you'll come to understand that the democrats had the option of making the filibuster super majority proof when Biden was the president and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress, but chose not to even when their own bill was in jeopardy.

Please wake up.
