I hate politics and don't want a debate but I have a question

My family is very, very Republican, and I remember right after Obama got elected they couldn't believe how dumb Obama was being by doing the stimulus packages to save all those businesses..
But now trump's sending everyone checks.
They love trump and everything that guy does is right to them, so they're all "oh yes. Trumps doing the right thing by sending ebetyone checks."
Isn't this basically the same damn thing as what Obama did? Except it's going to people instead of businesses.
Also, a aren't republicans the ones who like big businesses?
I'm confused.

It is a type of thing called cognitive offloading. You basically use something or someone else to think for you. That is why people can't get out of their parties. Think back to school when some students just barely made it. Thinking it literally hard work for some people and they would rather someone else to do it for them.
@canusernamebemyusername hmm. That makes sense. I'll have to read more on cognitive offloading. Thank you!
