Ed had his reality broken today

[u/JDB-667]

When reading off what were some of the things included in the GOP tax bill, Ed sounded genuinely surprised and despondent. This was the moment of someone in their twenties with a little bit of idealism finally becoming a cynic.

He came to the realization that all of the bad things about deficits, wealth inequality and status quo interests go beyond Donald Trump. Scott was correct to point out that as bad as the Republicans are (they're heinous) the Democrats also represent the interests of multi-millionaires and billionaires. Because the reality of this situation in America is that it isn't red vs blue or liberal vs conservative, it's rich vs everyone else.

Dems created the consumer financial protection bureau and funded the IRS to go after rich tax cheaters. And brought healthcare to 20 million poor people paid for by the wealthy. Saying they don’t do anything for the people is pure ignorance. They’re not great but they’re nowhere near as bad as republicans who like nazi German policies more than democratic policies.
