so after 13 hours of bi-partisan amendments in the senate...

... the save america relief bill passed, 50-49 (one republican absent due to family death so kamal's tie-break not requires) along strictly partisan lines

yes, not ONE SINGLE republican voted for this bill that so many of their voters are desperately in need of. not. a.single. one.

how's that gonna pan out in 2022?
even republican voters benefit from this bill brought to you by joe biden and the democratic party. the republicans will try to sell it on 'burden of debt when the economy's recovering so not really needed'. try telling that to those queuing up at food banks, going bankrupt from paying hospital bills related to covid sickness and fatalities, trying to keep a roof over their heads when they've lost their jobs due to the pandemic and trump's inaction.

Do you really think that will matter to the voters? After 4 years of supporting the donald NO MATTER WHAT HE DID? Those who could and did ignore what happened can do so now or in the future. Once brain dead it's almost an impossibility to jolt that gray matter back to a semblance of cognitive awareness.

There's a lot of truth in your comment, but SOME cultists CAN be deprogrammed with consistently demonstrated reality based evidence of their cults evil manipulations.

This stimulus bill will go a long way towards dispelling the big republican lie about Democrats not caring about working people and "red states".

It isn't necessary to win over ALL the brainwashed Trump voters, just enough to weather the mid-terms and hopefully make some gains.

Did Americans expect anything different from multi-millionaire politicians,
that prospered, after they became Trump Loyalists?

Trump gave to them, trillions from The People's Treasury. They have nothing to fear
from the consequences, that the teeming massive group of "poors" will face.

OTOH, Democrats are so wealthy in votes, some Democrats feel free to throw
theirs away.
