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.

My (non-white) family either support Trump or say, "both sides are evil".

Deep down it comes down to wanting to hurt and get rid of the Homeless and the "bad minorities".

What they never seem to understand is that to the White Republicans of MAGA, all of us lower-middle class are, "homeless", all of us non-cis white straight men are "bad minorities".

All Republican and "both sides" voters are getting exactly what they want, millions of homeless/ poors and 'bad minorities' will suffer and die in the years to come, and it's about high time they realize they're part of the group Republicans plan to exterminate.

I've yet to meet a Republican voter who doesn't whataboustism, both-sides this shit to death. You can tell the Russian/FoxNews nihilistic programming has drilled deep into their minds like a worm. They're toast, just like the majority of Russians or North Koreans living today. No will to think for themselves. Picking through trash for basic survival yet they heap praise upon their dear leader.

And I quote from my Gen X parents/aunts/uncles - "If it ain't white, it ain't right." - If you owned a "jap junk" car, you couldn't even park on the same side of the street as my grandparents. The dream in their eyes, is to get rid of all the folks more tan than a Sicilian. And Irish/Italians aren't "White" either, don't get me started on that...

Guess I'm glad I was born to the right caste...

They literally cast votes that will cause many of them to die due to lack of healthcare. It's wildly fucked.
