If only there was an opposition party that could have done a major media push to get the message out.
- They tried. Problem is that most of the press is billionaire-owned and they're literally settling frivolous lawsuits Trump has filed in order to bribe him.
- The Democrats are so bad at messaging, there should have been neverending ads on TV and billboards nationwide for the past few months, in-between all the gold buying and pharmaceutical ads.
  
  Can they even do that legally with campaign funds, if not, how do they pay for them?
Half of americans watch fox, so of course they aren't informed about all the awful shit he does.
A June 27 poll from the Democratic group Priorities USA finds that an astonishing 48% of Americans haven’t heard about Trump’s landmark legislation. [...]

The Priorities USA poll found that only 8% of Americans could name Medicaid cuts as a detail of the bill. [...]

Although Democratic opposition isn’t surprising, KFF also found that 71% of independents and 27% of “MAGA Republicans” objected to it too [when informed about it].

Also

A March poll by the liberal group Data for Progress found that 44% of left-leaning voters would give the party a “D” or “F” grade for its handling of Trump. And support among the broader electorate isn’t any better. In April, Gallup found that confidence in Democratic congressional leadership had fallen to 25%—an all-time low.
- Funny, cause last I read 61% of Americans hate the bill. The other percentage I’m sure is licking Donald’s ass.
  
  Of Americans who have a clue about it. Problem is that lot didn't hear before it passed
