After days of intense political infighting, the United States House of Representatives voted to approve a sweeping tax bill that seeks to eviscerate the landmark climate legislation passed by Democrats just three years ago.

    moderate republicans are the sickest freaks of all of them. they do or say anything. they don’t give a fuck. anything to make a buck. at least the hardline conservatives are open about their operating path

    Republicans might also be banking on the fact that many of their constituents don’t know about the IRA. A University of Chicago and Associated Press survey last year found that two years after the IRA passed, most Americans had a supremely flawed understanding of what the legislation is and does, if they knew about it at all.

    Replace IRA with pretty much anything, many Americans have a flawed grasp on a lot of society.

    I’d be very curious to know the number of republican politicians who:

    1. Voted against the bill.
    2. Went home and claimed credit for it during their campaigns.
    3. Now have voted to repeal it.

      Edit: Ahhh hold on I misunderstood what you meant, I can get you that info but it’ll have to be tomorrow.
