So, Trump and many Republicans are HAPPY about the Big Beautiful Bill. I am trying to get inside the mind of someone who voted for Trump who is happy about the bill. What exactly are they happy about?

This is a serious question. I honestly just want to know what the average Trump voter who pulls in maybe 40k a year? Why is he smiling about this bill?

Serious answers only please.

    the facism was always here; it merely had a mask that is now being torn off.

      No it wasn’t. That’s delusional. We’ve been slow walking toward fascism for a while, but it wasn’t just always there.

        tell that the black panthers after they were bombed by the police; or the brown americans who were born and raised in the united states, but still forcibly moved to mexico during the zoot suit riots and the depression; or the queer people who were arrested, imprisoned, fined, and livelihoods ruined until they fought back at the stonewall inn; or the tuskegee airmen or the navajo that were sterilzed and had medical experiments conducted upon them without their will, simply because they weren’t american enough; or black wall street in tulsa that was literally shot and bombed at like the gazans are right now.

        there are SO MANY examples of american facism that you have to be willfully ignorant of them to believe that americans aren’t fascist; either that or be your garden variety american voter.

          I’m not even gonna address your points. We are all frustrated with the state of the U.S.

          My point was just that the Trump administration is not better than the alternative. We can all agree on that. If you can’t or won’t admit that, then you’re part of the problem.

            agreed, this administration is not any better than the last one.

            the problem is the automatic and unquestioning assumption that the last administration was better despite the large body of evidence (by even american institutions) stating the opposite.
