it's really funny because it's not wrong to say that the Republicans put in the SALT change to gently caress over blue states, but also repealing it benefits millionaires, almost as if the Democratic base in blue states is millionaires :thunk:

It's mostly illustrative as to the level of opposition one would face in actually taxing the rich. Honestly if you can't get this to stick in what was a pretty normal tax code change to facilitate the transfer of wealth upward you won't get anything.

No. The Demon Rats are even more so the party of the rich then the Republicans. They just do an act where they pretend they are not.

yeah, like it is extremely telling that the only part of the Trump tax cuts that the Dems are willing to undo is the part that raised certain taxes on certain millionaires. All the other stuff that cut taxes for those same people gets to stay.

it really was. it's was a big gently caress you to the democrat donor base and a political landmine.

the SALT repeal will mostly only benefit wealthy people in NY and CA, 2 states which the democrats aren't going to lose any time soon, but it's perfect ammo for "democrats only care about the coastal elites" because it's a tax cut that will almost solely benefit millionaires on the coasts. it will also only benefit people already in their camp and no one else, so it doesn't help expand their base at all. republicans will runs tons of attack ads on it and it would be political incompetence for them not to.

and yes I know that the democrats are losing on purpose

The Libs will wonder what happened when they unironically believed things like "Demographic destiny"

No need to to roll out any real-world policy ideas in the real world since groups like latinos should be obligated to vote for them.

I mean the GOP has sent the past 20 years absolutely rigging everything they can plus also confirming federal judges who will uphold their rigged elections and the Dems have done absolutely nothing about this ever and are not going to.

I'm surprised it took this long for the demonrats to evaporate fwiw.

The democrats not being fully and completely destroyed in '22/by '24 would be the final proof that none of this poo poo matters or does anything and the idea of competing parties is just a goofy facade they put up over the machinations of a few dozen guys at the helm.
I mean that's literally true but it'd be really hard to continue to pretend that it isn't literally and explicitly true

Yeah some of them are the biggest donors to the dem political machine.

Like how Sleepy Joe had closed-door donor meetings with NYC Wall Street and Real Estate promising him he wouldn't rock the boat if they sent him campaign cash.

They already floated some race science after the 2020 election to explain the latino vote. Turns out latinos are just inherently misogynist and predisposed to wanting a strong daddy to lead them. Machismo is an inherited trait.
