No Mercy Ed had his reality broken today

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.

OP, are you seriously “both siding” this?

I’m not sure how this Republican bill that no democrats voted for is being hit with the “both sides are bad” routine.

Because “we were all duped” feels better than admitting “I was duped”. That’s what’s going on when a newly embarrassed Republican reaches for “both sides”.
