I think they will. They’ll see, eventually, that Trump and Johnson and all of them just lied continually about the Medicaid cuts dealing only with “waste, fraud, and abuse.” They’ll watch as deep-red states build more versions of Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” with the billions in this bill for a mean-spirited and wanton immigrant detention system that majorities already disapprove of. They’ll see veterans—veterans—lose their food stamp benefits. They’ll see interest rates go up because of the trillions the bill adds to the debt.
The seminal moment in this history isn’t Trump coming down that escalator. In fact, it has nothing to do with Trump.
Ever since, Republican domestic policy has consisted entirely of two prongs: cutting taxes, overwhelmingly for the rich; cutting spending, overwhelmingly for, or one should say “on,” working-class and poor people. This is who they are.
First, there are the coward-hypocrities: the ones who know something about policy and actually know better—who know, for example, that cutting taxes for rich people doesn’t increase revenue.
Third, there’s the clown posse: those, mostly new to politics, who are so stupid that they actually believe these lies about taxes and revenue, and spending being out of control. The lies are powerful and pervasive. If you try to Google about the effect of those 1990 tax increases, for example, the first couple things you’ll see are right-wing accounts that completely rewrite history. These people, mostly under 40 or so, have been hearing the lies about tax cuts and spending since they attended their first Young Republicans meeting, and they just buy it.
Likewise, when aides assure him, “Sir, with respect to Medicaid, we’re only going after waste, fraud, and abuse,” that sounds good to him. He asks no questions, because he doesn’t give a shit whether some 23-bed hospital in Point Coupee Parish in Mike Johnson’s Louisiana might close (neither does Johnson, obviously); all that matters to Trump is muscling his bill through, showing MAGA that he can push the likes of Roy and Harris around.
The economy contracted by 0.5 percent in the first quarter of this year. What percentage of Fox News viewers do you think know that? If Fox has reported that, it has surely blamed it on Joe Biden, which they’ll continue doing for a while yet.
I think the evidence will be so clear that enough people will see what this bill has done to their family, friends, and community, and the Republicans will rue the day they passed this sick, reactionary bill. Historic indeed.
