Yeah...for the life of me, I will never understand how people can put ideology over actual lives and simple common sense. I expect it to blow up in their faces but I also thought that Hillary would've won so who knows...
Because they have been brainwashed for decades that Liberals/Progressives/Democrats want to just bankrupt the government by helping the "other" and that by giving millionaires more they are helping themselves. People like this need to feel the brunt of these policies to realize what they have been peddling for over a century isn't working for them. BUT the Democrats are going to lose this fight if they can't control the narrative and create an equivalent propaganda machine to match the GOPs.
