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.

Any of these people who take the time to learn what any of these policies actually mean quickly ~~become not-Republicans~~ start to disbelieve reality and declare the truth as, "fake news."

FTFY 👍

I'd say if they write it off as fake news, they didn't take the time to learn. But I guess that's just semantics.
