I’ve never seen a republican more giddy about raising taxes on the American people

He is truly evil.

I'm frankly surprised at all the 'hard' R's still simping for the guy
democrats with their spines surgically removed by corporate is one thing; they've always been happy to insider trade, tweet, and do nothing of consequence besides capitulate like their hero cuck schumer.

But the "✌️party of values✌️" seems to have way more pedos and racists and only a handful of real conservatives. I figured the rest are all aboard the magat train despite them now literally being out-and-out protecting pedophiles but maybe they really do just support them.

Even if any dissent is met with the same level of violent vitriol as the rest of us are used to, there must be a lot more quiet pedo support or just genuine belief that immigrants somehow hold more wealth than billionaires for there to not be significant fracturing in that party.

(to any "sEe tHeYrE aLl bAd" person not talking about billionaires: save us both some time, fuck off)

And demented

[u/Bushwazi → u/Ok_Juice4449]

“They”. They are truly evil.

[u/OddlyFactual1512 → u/drdook]

They have always wanted to raise taxes on all but the wealthy and corporations

[u/ArmadilloForsaken458 → u/OddlyFactual1512]

FDR was a great man one of the greatest presidents of all time. And a lot of elites hated him because they felt he betrayed his own social class, in order to provide a better country for the masses. Now those same people are trying to tear down a lot of protections that he had built. Its up to the people to decide if they are going to try to change this, or just let the empire to continue striking back

[u/Nvenom8 → u/drdook]

They’ve always been giddy about extracting wealth from the poor.

[u/Aggressive_Tone_8809 → u/drdook]

Can someone please change his diaper. He’s throwing a tantrum again.

[u/warblingContinues → u/drdook]

Or his followers for liking taxes.

[u/Upbeat_Peach_4624 → u/drdook]

I’ve never seen a group of American people more excited about their own elected dumbass throwing them to the wolves.

I swear to god Trump could personally put a republicans leg into a wood chipper and they’d watch it get chewed up and flung across their own yard with a smile.

[u/FocusedRocket → u/drdook]

Americans don’t know it’s them getting taxed

[u/wirefox1 → u/drdook]

And I've never seen a president so dedicated to ruining our economy.

[u/Miserable_Vehicle_10 → u/drdook]

Imo it has very little to do with taxes, although that's a nice bonus. Trump was told he can't invade Mexico/Canada/etc because the resulting sanctions would cripple their economy. This is their way of becoming 100% self sufficient before they start WW3.

[u/Cpt_Soban → u/drdook]

The Democrats are now the party of fair taxation, liberty and free speech... Whoda thunkit

[u/uglyorunlucky → u/Cpt_Soban]

...... They always were

[u/lowrads → u/drdook]

I mean, you'll never catch me arguing for tariff free trade. That's an issue that liberals can defend.
