      It’s worse than that. Because everyone is explaining this to their parents just like you just explained it but for the first few years they won’t pay tax and their Medicare will be mostly the same. Then after the midterms the cuts start to kick in. After we have replaced a lot of the Republicans with Democrats. Then the old people blame the Democrats who just got into office. This is the same trap they keep pulling every time they are in power.

        Yeah, it’s the same effects we saw with the TCJA 2017, where they tie it knowing Democrats will take the blame once the hammer drops. It’s so predictable, but I’ve given up trying to convince my friends and family. I excised the MAGA’s from my life, though, that was a necessity for my own mental health.
