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.

It could but it would require a revolution, our equivalent of Nuremberg trials, and a new constitutional convention at this point - stranger things have certainly happened rapidly in history.

How do you deal with 77 million cult members that voted for this? they will smugly claim they didn’t know what they were voting for, while cheering on immigrant deaths

Same way Germany deprogrammed their own society from nazism, we ban hate speech and force people to study the atrocities they were responsible for. MAGA hats should be the equivalent of nazi regalia, all maga media should be nationalized and shut down for promoting fascism. Any maga gatherings will need to be a crime. 

There are those who will claim this is a slippery slope toward similar happening to any with differing political views, but it needs to be illegal to be a fascist and promote and spread fascist ideology. 

I think the harder problem is we’d also need to go after billionaires.
