Didn’t they already get something like a trillion dollar tax break in the first term? Once again the language used stuck on brinksmanship. The bad things are going to happen but never do. Until they do happen. The language never changes. It’s the goal posts that move. The bad things that happened are memory holed. The next set of bad things are on the brink of happenning.
I’m pretty sure this is the primary mechanism that has enabled the slide into fascism. The population is reactive. Not proactive. If the perception is that something will happen, not has happened then you successfully subdued resistance all together. There’s nothing to resist if perceptually nothing ever happens. We will never actually eat the rich.
