The Reckoning Is Here: When Satire Becomes Policy

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is here—and it’s basically Project 2025 with a side of authoritarian sauce.
While MAGA loyalists cheer, the rest of us are left wondering if this is a budget or a Bond villain’s manifesto.
Let’s break it down, point by point—because this bill doesn’t just hurt "those people." It’s coming for you.

Sections 50002 + 50003 slash local support.
Goodbye mail service. Goodbye local bank.
But hey, who needs checks when you’re broke?

🏳️🌈 When LGBTQ+ Rights Are "Optional"
Section 44125 strips healthcare protections and bans affirming care.

💰 When the Rich Get Richer—And You Get Screwed
Trump’s bill:
✅ Tax cuts for billionaires
❌ Childcare funding

But it does eliminate the tanning bed tax! Because priorities.
🧠 Bottom Line:
Trump said: “I have the right to do whatever I want.”
This bill gives him that power—with your money.
It’s not policy. It’s pillage wrapped in patriotism.
It’s not governance. It’s grift on steroids.
