Some good points there


and I don't disagree with them, I just don't see how the tax cuts help the average Trump supporter (who has very little wealth) take back America. Trump's tax cuts disproportionately favored Liberals (I don't have numbers to back that up but generally speaking, more millionaires are liberal than conservative). All I do is see Trumpsters complaining about big tech and billionaires, and the big media they support, as bad for America, yet Trump's tax cuts only provided them more $ and thus more power. $50 trillion (relative dollars) has changed hands from the lower middle class to the higher upper class since Reagan took over. Trump's cuts accelerated that.

A "conservative" probably does not care as much as a liberal, philosophically, I get that. But it sure makes being a Trumpster (as compared to a conservative) harder -- it increases the power of the specific enemies they complain so much about. I suppose that was my point, maybe not well articulated, but I see a dichotomy there between conservatism and Trumpism, especially considering the financial position of the average Trumpster, and their disdain for the average billionaire.

Even if we take away my point (which was pretty weak) about "Services" it still gets back to more money in the hands of those Liberals.
