But they will say “thank you” and ask for more.
That’s why they love the uneducated. It makes it so much easier to screw someone when they’re too dumb to understand what you even do.
That’s why they systematically defunded public education for a century.
“You dumb fucks elected us, and you can’t do anything about it now!”
Well, the
wolvesleopards promised the herd of sheep lamb chops for everyone and the herd cheered. 🤢
As far as Trump voters are concerned, if it was said on CNN it was never said at all, or if it was said, it must be a lie.
And why wouldn’t they? It’s not like votes are going to matter anymore.
Sounds like Hawley can help derail this in the Senate then; let’s all hold our breath and see if he does.
Spoiler
He won’t.
MAGAts: 🙉
And they’re all voting Republican anyway, because Gunz ‘n’ Jeezus!

Ehhh NewRepublic really overstates this in that headline.
Josh Hawley (audio voiceover): Republicans now, thanks to Donald Trump, are the party of the working class, Manu. You referenced the returns from the last election. The big majority of working-class voters voted for the GOP. That means now the GOP needs to deliver for them. And we do that by giving them tax relief. We do that by bringing down their health care bills. We don’t do it by cutting Medicaid.
Manu Raju (audio voiceover): If this bill becomes law, are you concerned that Republicans could face a severe blowback in the elections next year?
Hawley (audio voiceover): This bill is not going to become law in its current form, not least because President Trump won’t sign it. Manu, I’ve talked to him about this personally multiple times. He has been crystal clear in public too—no Medicaid benefit cuts. We need to give a tax cut to working people, not raise their taxes when it comes to health care, not take away their health care benefits. I hope this bill will get refocused on delivering relief for working families. That’s what we ought to be doing.
Tangentially, I really dislike the right wing obsession with “tax relief”. Taxes aren’t axiomatically bad! You should be getting something for your taxes!
I’ll pay higher taxes if it means free (at time of use) health care, transit, libraries, public spaces, etc. That’s going to be cheaper than paying for all of that as individuals.
People would rather save $100 in taxes even if it means paying $1000 for shit later.
You have quoted Cohn, a reporter, not Senator Josh Hawley, who is referred to in the headline.
Thank you, fixed it. I don’t even know how it jumped multiple paragraphs
All right that’s also what I read, and I still think the headline overstates things. That’s not a “stunning admission” so much as it is an attempt to steer the narrative and provide cover for Little t (who, mark my words, will sign whatever Republicans put in front of him).
Yeah they used what they had said about what he said, for the headline.
There it is. Exactly.
