Exactly what MAGA wants. What else is there to discuss?
What should be in a Big Beautiful Bill then? Open borders? Legalize Anti-Semitism? Child Mutilation?
What is on the lib agenda to get done?
Oh wait, you would just pass resolution after resolution claiming orange man bad, islamic jihadist good.
But MAGA hurts Americans with tax cuts and economic growth engines. Makes perfect sense.
To summarize the GOP plan:
1. Raise tariffs (taxes) on Americans
2. Blow up the deficit with performative bills
3. Blame immigrants and drag queens when the math doesn't add up
4. Repeat on the next marginalized group when the global overton window shifts again
Tariffs are taxes on Americans. They raise costs for consumers and businesses. The proposed bill increases the deficit by trillions
without clear return on investment, that's also a problem? Yeah? Your "open borders, child mutilation, and legalize anti-Semitism," is just outrage bait and you've been catfished.
If you really want a conversation about what should be in a "Big Beautiful Bill":
- Literally anything that doesn't directly harm Americans that aren't in the 1%
- Debt reduction plans with actual numbers behind them
- Infrastructure investment
- Smart immigration reform
- Tax relief for average American families not the wealthy
- Modernized healthcare access, not blindly cutting it
I would add continuing the things that made America great like being leaders in science, medicine, ground breaking research and development, our national parks and lands, etc. But apparently those are just all too wokre and must be dismantled post-haste and without thought!!
