Why do republicans think that any reform democrats pass is just another attempt for democrats to get more votes?

Question

yet anything they do according to them is helping the middle class even though it only benefits the rich.

NewsReader · Accepted Answer

Because that's what democrats do. They hurt the middle class, make the lower class THINK they are being helped when it's actually hurting them. The middle class makes up the majority and supports the lower class. Republicans are for supporting the majority because the majority is what supports the lower class creating the most ideal outcome. And it's not all about money. It's about standard of living. Democrats are constantly attacking common sense, praising things that bother the majority which topples the majority. Both parties attack each other because both have their own agendas or goals. And in most cases they are opposites. Both sides play this game. But if you only expose yourself to news or opinion from one side then you will never understand this.

Yeah, when Trump passed tax cuts and it helped me keep more of my money when I was making less than $30k at the time, it benefitted me because I was "rich."

Such lies. Liberals constantly lie.

I like how that high gas prices that were 3x what they were when Trump was in and are still more than 2x what they were when Trump was in, that is really helping the poor and middle class right? Democrats are so helpful by stealing money from the average citizens, making them much more poor, causing companies to go out of business, supporting criminals that kill, rob, loot, and burn. Such helpful democrats.

Seriously though, ALL people that still support the democrat party deserve the death penalty.

Republicans really don’t have any policies designed to help the lower and middle classes. They use wedge issues like abortion or immigration to get people to vote against their own economic interests. So they have to downplay any Democratic legislative successes to make voters believe those policies aren’t helping them, when they really are. Case in point…ask the GOP to reduce revenue by forgiving student loan debt and the answer is a resounding no. Ask them to reduce revenue by giving wealthy Fortune 500 companies a tax break and they can’t act fast enough.

You mean the people who are a-okay with turning the US into a theocracy? I'd rather vote for a democratic candidate than a theocracy loving asshole who can't accept election loss & claimed the country founded on religious freedom is a Christian nation

Why? Because Republicans are craven and truly don't give a shit about anyone but themselves, what benefits themselves and what keeps them in power. Anything they do is designed exclusively to get votes and stir up support from their base. This is how their mind works and it's inconceivable to them that other people might honestly want to try to help people and make things better. So they attribute to everyone else the only motivation that would ever appeal to them.

Trump famously said words to the effect that soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country are losers and suckers. He couldn't imagine anyone making a selfless sacrifice like that cause he would never do anything for anyone else unless there is a huge payoff for him personally. This is how they think and they assume everyone else thinks just like them..

Republicans always mock solutions to problems that benefit them. The simple fact is politicians are supposed to buy our votes by spending our tax money on us. Republicans hate this because they want to give our tax money to rich people and they very much like that they have been able to get away with doing just that for several decades, without really losing any power because of the success of their network of PR campaigns.

Because without anything to blame on Democrats, the Republicans have no platform to run on.

They have no policies of their own, except for those that put money back into the pockets of their lobbyists and donors. They block, or vote against, everything beneficial so that nothing gets accomplished. Then they can turn around and say, "Democrats failed, so you should vote for us, instead!"

Since that's what Republicans actually do, as a way of begging for votes, they just automatically accuse Democrats of doing the same thing.

The Big Beautiful Bill included the largest tax cut in history, most benefitted the middle class. It also funded 20.000 new ICE agents and billions more for more detainment facilities and other things to expedite the deportation progress. This benefits all Americans.
There was funding to help our farmers and ranchers and it raised the limits on the SALT deduction which helps mostly the middle class.
Anything the democrats have done lately has been to keep illegal aliens in the country and to fight funding of DHS until ICE is abolished. Also they have fought very hard to keep the SAVE America act as well. Even though 85% of all Americans support this they are vehemently agianst it..

That's the way politics work for any party. Politicians want to stay in power, and they pass laws to make happy the people that vote for them, so that they stay in power. Always been that way, probably always will. That's one of the flaws of a democratic republic, but until someone invents a better way to govern, it's the best system.

Because frequently the bills democrats pass have a very limited impact that only benefits their voter base. This student loan forgiveness is a great example; $10,000 is barely a drop in the bucket for most students, the money is going directly to the education establishment (which is mostly democrat) and a one-time relief check isn't going to help these students make regular payments from month to month.

Because US politics is a pointless punch-and-judy show whereby the rich political donors control both parties and order the actors and actresses to carry on a pointless spectacle for the ignorant masses.

Republicans would never win elections if it weren't for voter suppression and gerrymandering. Their policies generally hurt average people. Their supporters are the few that benefit or are too simple to understand.

MrTaboo · Answer

That's all they ever do. Look at past history. They only pass bills that look good on the surface and polls go up. But the bills never do what they say they do or just make it worse.

Obama care, made helfcarr worse and cost went up.

You talk about student loan cancel? Because it is an attempt to get more voters and nothing more. Democrats don't have resources to do this.

You mean buying more votes with the working peoples' stolen wages?

Anonymous · Answer

Republicans are out of ideas, they have nothing, and their supporters are no better than them. They are delusional and all so desperate.

Guy13 · Answer

Look at the timing. They have been saving this student loan thing for 20 years. Now, during election cycle, is the perfect time to ust the card as students vote liberal.
