A lot of deplorables are complaining about Trump's tax plan on Twitter

But my question is, how are they learning the truth about the tax bill if they only watch Fox News and think everything else is fake? Do they just pick and choose which facts to believe based on how it affects them personally?

7. I don't go on FB much these days, but for Twitter

I'm able to use the tweetcaster app to do advanced searches. For example, I can use these search terms: @realDonaldTrump tax "I voted for you" and hide retweets to get a feel for what's being said. If you have a lot of time on your hands you can remove the quotes for a lot more results.

3. Are the deplorables waking up to the fact that trump will screw them?

Deplorables are very stupid people but even they can wake up.

4. I never thought they were literate enough to see their own screwing

5. Too late.

6. BUT they may also believe Trump will keep his "promise" and save them...

... from the tax increases in the Trump tax plan. At least, that's what one poster here said his Trump-loving brother(?) believes.

Because many Trump-lovers are desperate to believe that the blonde buffoon is still their savior.

9. They won't need trumpft to "save" them because

by time the higher taxes kick in they will already be richer than those poor smucks in the lower tax bracket that have to pay more.

Because, trickle down...

8. Most of them will still do mental gymnastics and convince

Themselves that it is for the greater good.

10. Not gonna happen

You will never see a tax plan that 50 GOP Senators in the current Senate can agree on, especially after the conference committee that works out the difference between the House and the Senate versions. It's going down in flames, mark my words.

11. I soo hope that you are right! Bless you

12. Hello? Customer service?

I am marking your words with a renewed sense of hope esp. after the latest from 'big hair' and the mucksters that choose to keep him afloat.

I 've been 🆙 mostly, but then get weary and the ride goes downhill 🎢.

Thanx for lifting my spirits!

15. Uh

former customer service, I am now retired, and don't have to take crap from angry New Jerseyans who sometimes get irrational over their utility bills.

Big Hair and his friends talk a big game, but it's all BS. In the end, the House and Senate will make changes to the bill that might well get enough House votes, but will not get enough Senate votes. It's all about the blame game, and with 100% of the GOP'ers being up for re-election in 2018, but only a third (or less) of the GOP'ers in the Senate being on the ballot that year, it's about which part of Congress is to "blame" when it comes to rallying the base.

It's all about show, results are secondary.

17. I hear ya. It gets rough at times.

Thank you for your positivity.
I think I need to cut out the late hours. Food I can do without, but plenty of shut-eye is imperative.😴 Otherwise sleep deprivation builds up and everything looks way crappier than it may be. Or not! 😏

[customerserviceguy]

19. Or

do what I do, have a really good craft beer, and just say "F--- it!"

[sprinkleeninow]

21. Yeah, well sometimes it do come to that. Na z'drovje!🍻

13. But what about The Donors?

[customerserviceguy]

16. The Donors

may well withdraw support from some of the GOP Senators, but just under a third of them are running for re-election in 2018.

If the House can be seen by The Donors as having done their job, they will continue to get financial support.

14. trump couldn't care less if ANYONE likes them....it's WIN, WIN, WIN

[Willie Pep]

18. Wow who would have thought that a Republican president would present a terrible tax plan

It is like they only care about rich people or something! On another note, some of these people will never be satisfied. Honestly I know a disturbing number of people who would like a tax plan that reads: "I never have to pay any taxes ever but I also want excellent public services, great public schools, a well-funded, large police force, middle-class entitlements, a huge, powerful military, great roads and..."

[0rganism]

20. suspect most will be fine with it since it hurts liberals too

plus it lets their churches openly take up politics and treats fetuses as persons.

they'll come around.
