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.
agreed, this administration is not any better than the last one.
the problem is the automatic and unquestioning assumption that the last administration was better despite the large body of evidence (by even american institutions) stating the opposite.
The last administration didnt try to gut NSF science funding, nasa, our Healthcare, social security, or any of the other dumb crap in the reconciliation bill just passed. If you seriously think the Biden administration was bad, you didnt pay attention. My job, my colleagues jobs are on the line, my partner might lose all funding for her job, my friends are losing their jobs, PBS and NPR facing funding cuts. My grandfather, my uncle, my step father, all potentially losing their disability, social security, etc. People trying to strip us of citizenship, this shit is not normal. The fact that you are trying to equate the two administration’s is fucking disingenuous as fuck.
This country normally strips Americans of citizenship every few decades; most recently in the zoot suit riots where my own family members were forced to live out their lives in Mexico despite being born and raised in the United States.
The equal rights amendment could have helped people like your grandfather, Uncle and step father maintain their support and Biden did next to nothing to make it a reality.
But that’s just the brown and disabled people of the United States and the global South whose lives are being fucked over or ended, but sure, you and your colleagues jobs are more important.
the previous and current administration only differ in uncouthness.

Because my aunt & uncle were as much a formative part of my existence as much as your grandfather, uncle, and/or stepfather is/are/were to yours.
What amount of time makes it okay?
You are part of the problem.
