The difference is ... we saw it coming before the election. We saw through Chump's lies and bullshit. The MAGAs could have seen it too, if they'd been willing to listen. So it WILL BE a scam from their point of view. They are walking into it totally unprepared. Many of those small businesses are going to fail in the next couple of years.

Thanks Paul Krugman for explaining this so well. I'm pretty sure the MAGAs still aren't listening.
