    They don’t care. They owned the libs. The smug satisfaction from this will carry them through the lean years ahead and beyond.

    I’m kinda OK with taxing overtime because it should be extremely rare, but has become normalized. There’s plenty of people out there with no job at all.

    You can tell them until your throat is hamburger meat and your voice is nothing but bloody spatter.

    It doesnt matter.

    Because they don’t care.

    Fox News/OANN/Whatever else will tell them its necessary to own the libs, and they’ll cheer. They will self immolate before they dare have critical thought.

    They won’t care, they won’t even know about it because Fox News will scream that a trans person looked at a toilet last night in Ohio and now 4d8+6 children have been molested.

      Their supporters still haven’t noticed the TCJA from 2017 raised all their taxes in the first place with temporary (long expired) cuts for middle class and permanent cuts for the rich.

      Hell, the majority of voters on both sides had no idea the Republicans wrote the last tax bill and were set to write the new one this cycle, it was barely talked about at all during the election unless you were actively participating and looking for it.

    The goalposts will just be shifted again. There’s only one way to fix this and is ugly and painful.

      Exactly. Being a flagrant and blatant liar is one of the reasons why his voters absolutely love him. The last thing they will do is judge him for getting caught in a lie.

    i would rather see a minimum wage increase to service workers, tax free tips would open the door for dubious people to do shady stuff

      They spent the election selling their low-means supporters the idea that the problem isn’t wages being low, it’s taxes being too high. And once taxes are low you’ll be a Fortune 500 CEO before you know it.

      Hahaha yeah! Same! I know the descent into Fascism didn’t do it, not violating the constitution, nor lying about everything else, nor the egg prices still being high, not the fact that they proclaim to hate criminals yet he is a convicted felon, nor that they claim to love Jesus yet he breaks every single thing the Bible says and Jesus said to do, nor that they continue to be poor and angry despite his promises, nor that he didn’t end the Ukraine invasion, nor that he keeps getting richer and yet keeps begging them all to donate more to him and they don’t see the grift.

      Nope, none of those worked, but THIS TIME they will wake up!
