The GOP tax bill is incredibly unpopular
If you read carefully, you’ll see that no other major legislation of the past 25 years has polled below 40%, except for the ACA repeal bill.
I happen to think that the tax bill is *more* politically damaging for Republicans than ACA repeal. Here’s why: unlike working class people who vote Republican, upper middle-class people who vote Republican pay attention to how government actions affect their finances. They’re probably still mostly motivated by racism/tribalism, but they don’t want their tax deductions to go away. If they do go away, they may stop voting Republican.
Democrats are *already* +11 in the generic ballot. No one has won the House by 11 points since 1982.
I hope to God this piece of shit doesn’t pass. I wish Republicans in Congress cared about the country. They don’t. Some do care about getting re-elected. If they do, they should vote against this thing.
