Two weeks ago lots of people were sure the tax reform was going to be a catastrophe (most due to trumphobia or direct false MSM reporting), but the MSM picked the worst possible thing to lie about:
1- The lie was easily disproven.
2- The subject (taxes) directly affects the wallets of the Citizenry, so their gaining knowledge of it was inevitable.
3- The bill was passed by solely by Republicans and wholely panned by Democrats in both Senate and House.
This is a smooth red pill to a huge number of working americans that will notice a thousand dollars in a few monts, and another dose to everyone else once a year of positive data comes back in 2019 that confirms basic economic sense.
On contemplating the cause, I've come up with little sense:
1- Is the MSM's bias so blinding they don't realize what they've begun?
2- Is the MSM controlled tightly enough that this was actually direct from spiteful and foolish puppetmasters?
2a- or has MSM disobeyed orders and mutinied+suicided?

The irrationality you have been seeing since November is panic.
The corruption is so endemic that without them controlling the White House, literally hundreds if not thousands know they could very well end up in prison for what last year was just normal daily business.
This is the shriek of an Autist who isn't allowed to use the Green XBox Controller anymore.

Yup, the amount of disinformation i have heard on the tax bill is insane. Worst yet, people are talking about the new tax bill being bad, when they dont even understand how current tax laws work. It's annoying as hell

People don't understand how money works basically.
I was explaining Bitcoin to people. Funny how now they have questions and interest and 5 years ago I was a kook.
A guy who is retired who was fairly successful was asking me what Bitcoin was "based on". And I asked him what is our money based on, and he said Gold.
