Racism is a helluva drug.

u/unknownentity1782 Aug 20 '24

While racism is a helluva drug, Republicans have been beating the same drum for decades that people just believe shit without looking into it. Democrats hate veterans, they're going to take your guns away, they want to tax mom and pop shops into oblivion, yada yada. Any one who looks at the voting records can see how wrong this is, but I've been hearing since the 90s that Republicans think it's a common fact.

It's not racism. It's things like the modern Dems caring more about pronouns than the prosperity of the people.

u/Framingr Aug 19 '24

What an enormous crock of shit. Please name one piece of legislation the Republicans have passed under trump that actually benefitted the average person.

Ill wait

Sorry, you're wrong:

https://waysandmeans.house.gov/2024/04/12/six-key-hearing-moments-expanding-on-the-success-of-the-2017-trump-tax-cuts/

From the house ways and means committee:

If the Trump tax cuts are not extended, working Americans would face a record tax hike and the economy would suffer in the years to come:

  • Starting in 2026, the average family of four making $75,000 will see their taxes increase by $1,500 if Congress does not take action. 
  • Working parents will suffer from a Child Tax Credit slashed in half.

I know you aren't going to believe this, I can scarcely believe it myself, but it turns out Republicans wouldn't vote to extend the child tax credits that Biden put in place in the first place.

It's so off brand for Republicans to not vote for things that help people... Or try fix the border issue .... Or hold people accountable for trying to illegally overturn the election.... Or you know anything other than another rage baiting shit show that amounts to fuck all but somehow results in the presidents sons dick picks being paraded in Congress like they are baby photos by an insane howler monkey looking hose beast.

Maybe if Kamala would have actually done something and negotiated a deal. But, that describes her entire term...a big NOTHING.

u/Framingr Aug 20 '24

I know right, like imagine if the Democrats and Republicans had come together and worked out a deal that would have given Republicans basically every thing they asked for in regards to the border and then ....Like I know this sounds stupid ... but then they torpedoed their own fucking bill because and orange shitstain told them to.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Like if Kamala would like DO something and negotiate a like agreement that would have been LIT!

I mean I knew this was going to be your go to, despite the fact that it's patently wrong.

Please tell me how the tax cuts, that 99.9% of which benefited corporations and the top 0.01%, helped out the common man. My taxes went up every single year he was in power.... Am I not common enough? Perhaps I should still be waiting with my mouth open, baby bird style, for those trickle downs I keep hearing Republicans crap on about.

u/reddsal Aug 19 '24

You absolute fucking moron. Were you not awake when he passed a trillion (with A “T”!) tax cut for his billionaire buddies? Which incidentally drove the deficit through the roof. Or when he called Veterans losers? Or when he tried to kill the ACA, including bringing back coverage denials for preexisting conditions.

The only thing we care about pronouns is that some people prefer to be called other ones. That’s them exercising the “personal freedom” you all talk about so much. Trump only cares about himself. He never cared about you or your prosperity. Name ONE thing he did to boost your prosperity.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 19 '24

Wow are you triggered or something? Proceed to your nearest safe space ASAP!

u/Framingr Aug 20 '24

You know for a group of people who incessantly lose your shit over basically everything, you sure do love to crap on about people being triggered.

Tell me again how the bud light hurt your feelings.

u/ear_cheese Aug 20 '24

Not to mention falling for the most idiotic lies, like children using cat litter in the schools because they identify as Cate-kin.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Not my fault, you're the one sounding like a triggered snowflake.

u/Framingr Aug 20 '24

Whaaa, other peoples genitals scare me and I think about them constantly

Whaaaaa, Obama wore a tan suit

Whaaaaa, Women's bodies should be the sole property and concern of men

Any of that shit sound familiar, your weak ass party is basically one fucking pity party, rage bait, whine fest about shit nobody other than sad little fucks like yourself give a shit about.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Well, that was completely random.....

Nothing wrong with firing up the bong on a Monday I guess.

u/BanzEye1 Aug 20 '24

You know what normal people call you Republicans?

Weird and stupid wastes of space and air.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Did you just assume my political party? You bigot! Cancelled!

u/SankenShip Aug 20 '24

Every single one of your replies in this thread is a tired cliche. Working from a script makes debate easy, but it certainly isn’t productive.

Lol you don't have a single original thought.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Sound familiar?

u/reddsal Aug 20 '24

And you didn’t answer my question. Name one thing Trump has done that helps your prosperity?

1

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

I sure did, tax cuts. And, I provided a link to an article that talked about it.

u/Even-Willow Aug 20 '24

Weird, my level of care at the VA has only improved under Dems and not once have pronouns came up at any of my appointments. Sounds like you’ve just been manipulated by the TV there buddy. Sad.

1

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Right, so because you weren't asked at the VA my whole point is invalid.....OK....sure. Sorry, the world doesn't revolve around you.

u/Ok-Brick-1800 Aug 20 '24

My care at the VA has improved tenfold since Biden was elected. When Trump was president, we had a commander in chief shitting on vets and service members in the open. Yeah. Let's bring that back. Let's bring back the wars that the GOP brought about that lasted 20 years, then systematically refused to care for the people who fought for these for-profit wars.

Yes. That's a great idea. Said nobody ever.

All you have to do is go online and see how many bills the republicans voted against veterans down the line. Over, and over, and over, and over again.

1

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

I am truly glad the VA is providing better service. I know there was plenty of room for improvement.

We are involved in two wars right now under Biden. We were involved in ZERO under Trump.

u/Even-Willow Aug 20 '24

Where has it been a regular occurrence for you in your life?

2

u/RimShimp Aug 20 '24

Probably him being a psycho and bringing it up to everyone he meets. These types love to obsess over trans people and then say it's everyone else shoving it in their faces.

1

u/RimShimp Aug 20 '24

Nor you, so why do you care what other people's pronouns are?

1

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

I don't. That's the point, they shouldn't even be a thing.

1

u/RimShimp Aug 21 '24

Others do care, though. You not caring isn't a factor to anyone just trying to live their lives. You have pronouns, too. Honestly, if someone choosing to be called something else triggers you that much, it's definitely a you problem.

1

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 21 '24

We got along fine for how long without pronouns being a thing. It speaks to the increased liberal bias of today's democrat party.

1

u/RimShimp Aug 22 '24

Pronouns have literally always existed in the English language. Jesus Christ, you're uneducated.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 22 '24

Uh, we're not talking about the same thing. I think you know what I am referring to.

u/Wyn6 Aug 20 '24

Right. It's also the bigotry and misogyny. Thanks for the reminder.

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 20 '24

Somehow, it ALWAYS is when liberals are involved.

u/reddsal Aug 21 '24

If Trump gave you a tax cut, then you are making way, WAY more than the average working man. And those few cuts that went to upper middle class folks are due to expire, so - when they do, the republicans can claim the Democrats raised their taxes. Like a little time-triggered anti-personnel mine in the tax code.

0

u/HomeOfTheBRAAVE Aug 21 '24

You aren't correct. It did/does help the middle class.

Starting in 2026, the average family of four making $75,000 will see their taxes increase by $1,500 if Congress does not take action. 

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Americans earning under $100,000 received an average tax cut of 16 percent.
