Even “republicans” run under the Keynesian lie that more government spending will solve any problem. Rand is completely correct that this passing will damage the Republicans and will probably lose them the midterms. The sad thing is that is by design to keep the cogs rolling.
Let's be honest here. We're fucked on the midterms already because we still don't have a solution to the fraud problem that doesn't involve Trump being on the ballot.
I mean, can you blame people? Everybody we vote in immediately changes their positions and conforms to the uniparty on stuff.
Republicans are fucked because they have done nothing while their white voter base is replaced. They are quickly pivoting to muh based spics.
They don't care about the problems, they care about remaining in office.
And if you start doing stupid crap that no one wants based on lolbertarian ideology, you're not going to remain in office.
DOGE was a major feature of the Trump ticket, and the Republicans basically voided any gains made by the DOGE. I'd be willing to bet they will lose more Republican supporters than if they had stuck to the cuts.
I hope you are wrong but I’m worried about that. Actually cutting govt and abolishing unconstitutional agencies is impossible since there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth
I doubt this. Libertarians are mostly annoyed by this, but not to the point that Republicans will lose the mid-terms over this.
Sure, there's not enough cuts, but Rand wasn't gonna get the cuts he wanted either.
The cuts that were needed are simply impossible, politically.
There’s absolutely no way to motivate a base for midterms when the polling all said 1. Was immigration and 2. Was economy/ government spending/ inflation. This is going to deflate the base massively as they haven’t really deported shit, still keep mass importing H1Bs, and haven’t stopped spending.
True, which is why Trump should be outing every single faggot congressman who demanded a payout for his vote, instead he went after Rand for being the only one willing to actually put his foot down.
Deportations are still ongoing, and still being quite public. I don't see inflation going crazy in the future, and I think the economy is going to improve.
Yes, and those public numbers are showing at most 40k and shrinking per month. He’s not even on pace for 100k deportations this year. Inflation is going to increase if this bill passes, that’s undeniable, if the bill helps the economy more than it hurts it won’t be as noticeable, but it will be there. There’s also the problem that more spending will keep the fed rates higher and fuck the housing bubble more.
The Republican party is so generally unpopular that even a tiny subgroup deciding to not vote out of spite could be enough to flip the 1-2 seats that are the difference between the Mars Base and Brown Tidal Wave futures. Libertarians are especially hysterical and very stupid in these situations.
The Republicans aren't gaining support enough because their not following Trump's lead.
Rand and Massie are more in danger of loosing their seats than MAGA die-hards because the population is very Trumpists.
