I saw someone say everyone on MAGA TikTok is talking about how excited they are to get their stimulus checks.

Musk didn't say this, some idiot made it up and now it's all over MAGA internet. Almost like they're really gullible.

If true, this is what "owning the MAGAs" needs to look like. Disinfo works both ways.

Cool! I was wondering where the money was going.

It sounds like the sort of thing they'd need/want to do to keep loyalty, though. They bought the first round of MAGA support by exploiting racism, sexism, anti-trans policies, etc. Their first wave of EOs was aimed at those things, making their base feel seen/valued.

But as the cuts and tariffs take effect, the impact on the MAGA base will be brutal, and the loyalty will wane. They will need to throw bread to their starving supporters, and this is what that might look like.

This would cost a trillion dollars.

It's not going to happen because so far most off DOGE's cuts and "found fraud" aren't actually real. For example they claimed they found $4.7 trillion in fraudulent funds in Treasury because of missing codes, reality is they don't know how a relational database works. They claimed there was an "8 billion dollar DEI contract" in DHS except it wasn't billions, it was millions, and it wasn't really "DEI" either.

Kinda like the $2000 checks in 2020.

They are ripping out federal jobs in the name of saving money - but that's all going to become incredibly expensive to fix. I mean, we could all stop paying our mortgages and crow about how much money we've saved. . .at some point consequences of being reckless are going to hit.

So let us get this straight... we've got a 36 TRILLION dollar in debt(a number a person couldn't even count to), DOGE hasn't even found 100 Billion of reliable savings, the proposed tax cut adds another 4 TRILLION to the debt, and somehow folks can get $8,000 checks.

And this looks like fiscal responsibility....

Money isn’t real when Republicans spend it!

If there isn’t an $8,000 check this year, Trump’s presidency is a failure.
