America - the land of "people should be punished for voting the 'wrong' way."

It's amazing that all it took was a few months of Trump in office for Republicans to stop even bothering to pretend to be anything other than overtly and explicitly anti-American - to out themselves as deliberate and even enthusiastic enemies of every single thing that ever made America great..

Hey quick question: how do you know who I voted for?

I’d like to exclude Trump voters from all future elections. They’re clearly too stupid to handle the responsibility.

So they're taking the money from the American people and then "generously" giving them back a portion of it and they say only to people who might financially need it. Almost like they're taxing people and redistributing income to those in need. If it wasn't for the hefty piece they're taking off the top and the blatant buying of votes, it almost sounds like Socialism!!

Oh no not $600 whatever will I do without reaping the paltry benefits of our environment, due process, democracy, national parks, worldwide alliances, hope for any future other than an oligarchic dystopia, and soon, I’m sure, my ability to ever retire being destroyed by an orange rapist? Gee, that $600 sure would make all that feel way better!

After reading through the article, this is a misleading title. It sounds like he's trying to say that Biden voters are all wealthy people that wouldn't need this:

Well, you wouldn’t give it to everybody, you’d give it to the working people,” the Missouri Republican told far-right podcaster and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Tuesday. “You’d give it to our people.”

“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way."

That sounds awful socialist to me.

I like how he supports UBI.

It's cool. I don't need to be bribed to vote.

Also don't need a placebo incentive to make fucking over our partners and allies seem ok.

All this ignores the fact that everything has gotten more expensive under this chucklefuck kiddy rapist 'n chief that 600$ ain't gonna do fuck all but piss me off even more!

Now that's how you do a cognitive dissonance!

Also, Sen. Josh Hawley should be excluded from terrestrial oxygen.

I wasn’t aware all Biden voters were rich.

$600/person will go by so quickly with even more inflated prices of goods.

Unless it’s UBI, we don’t need checks. We need higher wages and lower costs of living.

He wants to exclude Biden voters from the $600 Trump tariff rebate checks?! The ones Trump got for us?

The same Trump that was best friends with Jeffery Epstein up until his suspicious suicide? You know, that known pedophile that Trump said "liked them young?" Remember when Trump wrote him a weird birthday card? That was odd for a president to do that. Trump did say he liked to grab women by the pussy. That was weird too.

Wait what were we talking about again? Oh yeah the $600 "sorry we dismantled your somewhat functioning government" check I probably won't get. Cool.

He really is resorting to his lamest trick which was the Covid checks. I bet you anything he’s going to sign them like last time.

There are so many things wrong with every single Hawley quote in this article, it’s like he’s pioneering a new subgenre of intellectual failure. He’s not just wrong on the facts, or the descriptions, or the correlations; he’s blending all of it into a dense, swirling vortex of confident nonsense, that’s somehow more structurally unsound than the sum of its parts. And I’m about 78% sure he knows exactly what he’s doing. I just can’t decide whether that’s impressive, or evidence of some latent morlockian genetic ability to produce lies so elaborate and self-assured, that they short-circuit your instinct to question them.

To be honest, I'm just looking forward to the massive tax savings and ridiculously lowered tax bill I'm one billion percent sure is going to materialize in 2026 from all the DOGE savings we've attained. Totally holding my breath on that one. Do cremated remains even pay taxes? Who the fuck am I kidding, this is the USA, of course they do.

Well, that certainly seems fair. After all, even though I'm a Leftist and I detest the majority of Dems, I still voted for Kamala against Trump and that makes me a traitor.

How? Your vote is supposed to be anonymous. Unless he just means registered democrats

This headline is a bit alarmist.

“I mean, you know, the rich people don’t need it … what I mean by that is all those Democrat donors of Wall Street, all these hedge fund guys, who all hate the tariffs, by the way.”

So he is basically just implying everyone who is poor voted Trump, and everyone rich voted Biden. It's basically a neutered version of class consciousness with a tribal mindset. Which is exactly the type of class consciousness I would expect Hawley to want his constituents to have. He's still being disingenuous, but he's not (as of right now) suggesting that we keep voter records to punish people for wrongthink.

oh boy, 600 whole dollars. Woohoo. That'll cover like 3 months of price increases due to the tariffs.

I love that there are two parties, one that represents all of America, and one that represents half of America, and the half side keeps getting elected? Do you want ants, America? Because that's how you get ants
