Trump and DeSantis still cut taxes, slash social safety nets, and fork over barrels of cash to corporations just like Reagan, they just don’t advertise it, focusing instead on culture wars.

Like Reagan it’s economic policies for the rich and social policies that poll well with the highly religious.

Trump wasn't the one giving college grads handouts despite their advanced earning power

Trump was the one trying to get high earners to pay their fair share of federal taxes instead of getting breaks for star taxes

Why did you leave those off?

Democrats still advocate for upper class tax cuts like the state income tax deduction, hand outs to the upper class through student loan forgiveness to households making $200k+ a year and tax credits for their luxury electric cars that can go zero to 60 faster than a mustang, and fork over barrels of cash to corporations big pharma for vaccines or green target businesses like Tesla, the difference now is that they advertise it.
