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 really is complex, but as @KenjiHarima, said, they are different emergencies at different times. This is only one part of it. Another is: two people do exactly the same thing, but one you like, and one you don’t. You tend to be more forgiving (and may even see it more favorably), when it’s the one you like. It’s human nature. That’s why the Left hate Trump, and criticize him for doing something good...something they themselves wanted to happen...until Trump accomplished it. They say love is blind, and so it is, but so is hate.

@Carissimi I love that last line. It's so true. Thank you for responding.

@Carissimi By and large “the left” is not criticizing Trump for finally waking up and doing [i]something[/i]. It’s overdue.

A question was asked. I gave my answer. I’m not here for a political argument. Can’t you people just take a rest from all the arguing. @QuixoticSoul
