Playbook: The twin crises of disease and recession boosted support for government intervention well beyond what has been tolerated for decades; Donald Trump and the GOPs own support for the last two bills depolarized the fight over this one; Bidens opposition was distracted by internal divisions (Jan. 6, impeachment, McCarthy vs. Cheney, Trump vs. McConnell); and the conservative media was distracted by juicier fare than tax policy.
If youve watched Fox News every night during the Biden presidency (we have), its that last point thats the most notable. Weve learned a couple of things: 1) The MyPillow guy has really expanded beyond pillows, and 2) Foxs most-watched hosts care a lot more about cancel culture, Dr. Seuss and antifas alleged (but, according to the FBI, nonexistent) role on Jan. 6 than they do about Bidens American Rescue Plan.

(10,828 posts)Republicans want to pretend that the Rescue Plan never happened, that they are as stated the party of the working class and that Dr. Seuss and Mr. Potato Head are the source of the country's woes. Covid doesn't exist, masks are a threat to freedom and any uptick in the economy will be from Donald Trump's brilliant guidance for 4 years. Antifa, of course, is the great danger to the country's security and (like Covid) White Nationalism, Neo-Nazi groups are a myth pushed by those socialist Democrats who also happen to be pedophiles.
This is not a political party. It's a fever dream. And Fox is not a news organization; it's Propaganda Central.
