Trump signs trillion-dollar plus tax cut into law, most of the cuts going to the 1%. The very next day, his minions in the house and senate start saying that we have to cut social programs to pay for the tax cuts. Because Republicans are such good Christians.
Sadly as true as ever, and thanks to a decrepit voting system and a “low information” (what a euphemism) electorate, it goes on and on. It looks like if you’re a progressive in the US, UK, and Australia there’s only one form of voting that really works, vote with your feet.

It’s like the vintage SNL “Colon Blow” commercial, except with 1 percenter money.
