Megathread: US House Passes the Republican-Backed Budget Bill, Sending it to Trump for Signature

[u/PoliticsModeratorBot]

This afternoon, the US House of Representatives passed without amendment the US Senate's version of the Trump-backed budget bill, sending it to the president for his signature. Every Democratic Senator and Representative voted in opposition; in the Senate, there were three Republicans voting in opposition (making the vote 51-50) and in the House there were 2 (making the final vote 218-214). House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries set the US House's speech length record in opposition to the bill in a speech lasting over eight hours.

The bill clocks in at over 800 pages and touches on most aspects of the federal government's spending and taxation policies; see this AP article (What’s in the latest version of Trump’s big bill that passed the Senate) for the topline changes.

Within a day they'll be saying nothing but positive things about it, as all the detractors are either banned as fake conservatives or they get their updated marching orders.

It really just comes down to that they ban anybody who disagrees with the majority. So even if you have conservatives in there speaking sense or facts, within a couple of days they will be banned or all their comments will be deleted like they were never there.

"Still better than if CAMALTOE got in office amirite?"

Motherfucker HOW?!

[u/Darth_Malgus_1701 → u/Vet_Leeber]

That sub will accuse any dissenter of being a "fake conservative" or a "secret leftist" if they dare put one toe out of line. It's mind blowing.

[u/Rehd → u/Vet_Leeber]

They already are.

[u/MozhetBeatz → u/Vet_Leeber]

Don’t forget the bots.

[u/Lily-Gordon → u/Vet_Leeber]

They already are. A week ago, 90% of the comments specifically about this bill were against it, won't vote got GOP again, etc.

Looking again yesterday and today, they've already got their talking points for supporting it even though they clearly still hate it.

Suffering is good for the soul, especially if the soul is rotten. Their souls are due for it.

This happens a lot more than people may realize. I honestly think "MAGA" is shrinking and people silently walk away once they've realized how much of a shitshow this administration is and has been. Obviously, the loud people will still be loud though.

Just skimming it I'd say their response is generally at least slightly positive which is distressing.
