I'm sorry, but this is silly. Yeah, the GOP just gave big tax cuts to rich people. That does not mean the country is "over" or "killed".
Sometimes the people in power do bad economic policy.
If you moved away from every country that a bad policy you'd have nowhere to live.
Instead, work to elect better leaders.

You know what happens when Republicans control all branches of government?
They cut taxes for the rich.
People aren't happy about this bill, though.
So maybe go out there and harness some of that anger to elect Democrats in 2018.

Trump's base was never going to abandon him unless he actually did something substantive to screw them over.
Well, now he has.
Now go out and harness the inevitable anger against the bad policy, instead of just wailing on Twitter about Republican dirty tricks.

Middle-class GOP voters in suburbs throughout America are going to notice if and when their taxes go up.
The deficit #'s are going to scare them (whether or not deficits are actually dangerous, which no one really knows).
So use that.

Look, Trump's approval just sank to an all-time low: news.gallup.com/poll/201617/ga…
That's a start, at least.

This was the most unpopular tax cut in recent decades (possibly ever?). It was even less popular than tax HIKES.
Before you start wailing that "America is over", remember that Trump actually has to enact unpopular policies, or else people will vote purely based on symbolism and optics.
Well, now he has. cnn.com/2017/12/02/pol…

Obamacare - which was actually a reasonable, if suboptimal, policy - pissed people off so much that the GOP kicked butt in the 2010 midterms.
Well, now the GOP has their own giant impenetrable scary policy, and it's much more unpopular than Obamacare was. news.gallup.com/poll/121814/mo…

America is far from over. America has always been about boneheaded policies and political backlashes. Since day 1.
So, go out there and harness the backlash!
