    And just when do you truly think any MAGAt will propose something “good”…???

    Don’t be daft.

      No income tax on people earning less than $150k for example.

      Trump has also passed animal protection laws during his first term.

        Yes, the rich fucking love no-income-tax schemes. Because that’s always followed by more-sales-tax-to-replace-lost-revenue schemes, which is demonstrably proven to move the tax burden from the obscenely wealthy to the other end of the economic spectrum.

        Our $800 billion war machine isn’t going to stop just because 80% of Americans don’t pay taxes anymore.

          You realize the rich would still be paying income taxes, as they make more than $150k… and they would be paying those sales taxes too.

        Pfft…

        Anyone looking seriously/hopefully/longingly at those pitiful distractions is simply missing the bigger MAGAt picture/goal of entirely subverting US democracy.

        That’s just bread and circuses.

          You asked for good policies, I gave you good policies. You want to pretend everything MAGA does is bad? Go for it, I’m not stopping you if you don’t care about being accurate.

            Yes.

            In my world, the preponderance of MAGAt goals are bad so they are ultimately and entirely bad.

            You’re simply attempting: “Look, here’s a couple of good things in a big bucket of bad. So obviously they can’t be all bad”.

            Definition of bread and circuses.

              You might want to leave your world and join the real world back, where not everything is black and white.

                Yes, it’s not all black and white, but the MAGA agenda is a big bucket of black paint with a couple tiny drops of white mixed in. You can split hairs about how that technically makes it a very dark shade of charcoal grey, but for all practical purposes it’s fucking black.
