I just don't understand this. A R-controlled congress agreed to bailouts that Trump could have vetoed. A stimulus went through, and the majority of Americans agree it's a good thing (not saying it was or not, economically speaking). Biden also wants to do a stimulus, so am I missing something?

You're not missing anything - people see the world through a filter of their biases. The Trump administration & a republican congress also passed significant tax-cuts for corporates, which were pretty milquetoast[1] for everyone else. To add insult to injury, the corporate tax-cuts are permanent, but the one for the "rest of us" expires in 2021, IIRC. 1. IIRC, there was a teacher who complained at a senator's town hall that her $17 annual tax savings were worthless, and he retorted that she could use it to treat herself to a burger. To be completely honest, I can't recall the exact amount - or suggested purchase, but both were laughable.
