      Always has. These people just had their eyes opened because the hateful Republican rhetoric is affecting people in their orbit for a change.

      The most infuriating part is that these morons are like “I don’t care about that shit, I don’t want my taxes to go up!”

      But Republican policies have ALWAYS shifted the tax burden on the regular folks.

      A classic example is, they’ll lover your house taxes by 200$! Yaay!

      But now, your city can’t repair the roads, so the potholes fuck up your car and you have to get it repaired for 500$!

      Another good one recently was, your house taxes are going down 100$! Yaay!

      But now, after a thunderstorm that caused a bunch of huge branches to fall down everywhere, the city has no money to collect them, so you’ll have to pay 500$ to dispose of them.

      I could go on for hours with examples. Not a single Republican tax cut has ever lead to you, the average American keeping more of your money. It just looks like it if you don’t count past the number 5.
