Back in the day, Democrats cried and screamed when Republicans imposed the "Biden rule" and delayed confirmation hearings during an election year.
It's almost like Democrats can't stop doubling down and at some point their insane speeches, actions and outright extremism come back to bite them in the ass times ten.
Three examples that can and perhaps SHOULD be applied in reverse on them soon.
The California Billionaire Tax isn't being levied for any sort of economic activity or exchange of money in any fashion. Nothing is being bought, sold, exchanged, gained or anything else to tax. So Democrats are just deciding to outright CONFISCATE the wealth of those who have it and they declare they simply need it more.
Can you imagine a future MAGA administration that decides certain industries or classes of people simply "have enough" and with no activity to justify it the government can just now take some, perhaps all of the wealth of an individual?
Wait... they are proposing a 5% tax so what sort of ridiculous strawman argument are you making Mr. Jamelis to suggest that a government could tax 100% of something held by a private person.
Well I'm glad you asked.
See California under Gavin Newsom is now proposing a 100% tax. Yes, he will take every cent.
If you simple hold your own wealth and the government thinks you have enough 5% of everything you own aka your total worth is just fine.
If the government doesn't like how your got your money, or you got it from, well 100% is now an acceptable number.
I'm not great at trying to weaponize taxes so I asked AI to generate similar reverse scenarios.
AI Generated Reverse Scenarios:
Scenario 1: Federal 100% "Weaponization Clawback Tax" on Blue-State and Left-Aligned Recipients
Mirroring California's proposed 100% tax on California residents receiving money from Trump's January 6 compensation fund, the federal government enacts a 100% surtax/clawback on any federal funds, grants, settlements, or benefits going to individuals, nonprofits, universities, corporations, or officials in states or entities that pursued "anti-MAGA" actions.
Scenario 2: Coastal Elites
Flipping California's proposed one-time 5% levy on ~200–253 California billionaires (projected to raise $100 billion over five years per the NBER-style analysis), the feds introduce a nationwide progressive wealth tax (2–5% annually on net worth above $100 million or $1 billion thresholds), but with strong MAGA carve-outs and punitive multipliers.
Think about how the NYTimes, Paramount, and other entities should just owe a percentage of their entire net worth just because Donald Trump or someone similar doesn't like how they earned it or declares their losses will be "palatable" per the administration levying them. Those giant universities and their endowments can just cough up a nice percentage of their total valuation including the property that the universities hold and operate on.
Democrats might really come to hate their own bad ideas being applied back on them soon. Perhaps they should stop generating such terrible and evil ideas.

- Targets: Residents or organizations in California, New York, Illinois, etc., who received federal COVID relief, green-energy subsidies, student-loan forgiveness, or law-enforcement grants if their state or institution supported prosecutions of January 6 defendants, promoted DEI mandates, sanctuary policies, or "censored" conservative speech.
- MAGA Framing: "Blue elites and deep-state actors weaponized government against patriots and working families. Every dollar they took while attacking America First now gets 100% clawed back. No more red-state tax dollars subsidizing radical governors and woke institutions."
- Tech executives or Hollywood figures in California who benefited from federal contracts or pandemic-era aid face full 100% federal taxation on those proceeds.
- Universities like Stanford or Columbia that maintained "cancel culture" policies lose 100% of federal research grants or student-aid funding.
- Nonprofits or cities that funded BLM-related initiatives or Jan. 6-related prosecutions see their federal infrastructure dollars fully offset by the tax.
Scenario 2: Coastal Elites
Flipping California's proposed one-time 5% levy on ~200–253 California billionaires (projected to raise $100 billion over five years per the NBER-style analysis), the feds introduce a nationwide progressive wealth tax (2–5% annually on net worth above $100 million or $1 billion thresholds), but with strong MAGA carve-outs and punitive multipliers.
- Mechanics: Mark-to-market on unrealized gains for certain assets. Full exemptions or rebates for businesses in oil/gas, nuclear, manufacturing, agriculture, or those reshoring jobs from China/blue states to the heartland. 100%+ effective rates (via surtaxes and penalties) on "woke capital" — tech, media, finance, and entertainment firms headquartered in high-tax blue states that enforced DEI, ESG, censorship, or supported open-border policies.
- MAGA Framing: "California billionaires grew 30-fold richer while Main Street suffered from their globalist policies. We're taxing the coastal elites who shipped jobs overseas and funded the weaponization of government — but rewarding the patriots building American energy dominance and real jobs."
- Silicon Valley or New York tech/finance billionaires pay the full rate on stocks, mansions, and yachts; Texas energy executives or Midwest factory owners get zero liability or tax credits.
- A Hollywood mogul or Big Tech CEO who backed progressive causes sees 100% taxation on certain holdings framed as "cultural damage reparations."
- Revenue (trillions projected in this fiction) funds infrastructure in red states, debt reduction, and tariffs enforcement. An "NBER-equivalent" study would claim that even if every blue billionaire flees, heartland America stays ahead for decades via reshored manufacturing and energy independence.
