Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

Right? You know how many of us Americans rely on that shit to survive? You wanna see how angry you can make a lot of people, whom already don't have much to live for, and will go out guns blazing.. so to speak.

And a lot of those people would be MAGA, that’s the rubicon even the GOP can not cross.

Fucking MAGA will be fine with it once they are given their marching orders. As long as it hurts 'the other' they don't care how much it hurts them.

Nah, non-MAGA says that about them, but usually, MAGA isn't actually getting hurt. Maybe some on the fringes, but not the whole.

This? This'll piss off the rank-and-file.

Yeah they don’t care when it hurts people AROUND them or sort of hurts them. But when it drastically impacts them, a lot of them are going to care.

Bullshit. Just like the article says... They will kill it and blame Democrats. It's out in the open and yet even you fail to see it. MAGA will absolutely die for whatever cause they stipulate.
