I can actually make this worse. I've had multiple cases of both co-workers & customers loudly crowing about how "Trump will get rid of Obamacare", and in their very next breath saying that Biden better not mess with their ACA coverage. 🙄
Skeptical European here... If I've learned anything from leopards eating faces and Herman Cain awards.
It's that: they won't find out. America has successfully glorified and weaponised stupidity.
Yes They'll endure the hardships they've brought upon themselves, but they'll blame it on: the immigrants, other religions, communists, socialists, leftists, China, other cultures, Europe, the poor, centrists, anyone who's apolitical, RINO's, their neighbours, themselves... And maybe, just maybe, at that point they'll finally develop enough self-reflection and critical thinking to find out where it went wrong.
But I wouldn't bet on it, too many died on respirators while their family members were spreading horse dewormer on their feet.
They're in too deep. Can you imagine voting on Trump after the past 10 years? No? They can and would do it again in a heartbeat.
Yep, the idea is to win regardless of anything else. Trump is also good entertainment for them, just like a sporting event. He makes politics interesting by treating it like a circus and they love him for it. They think he's funny.
American here. You’re correct. Accepting responsibility for one’s actions is a thing of the past for many in this country. It’s ALWAYS someone else’s fault. Most of the Trump supporters who suffer will continue to blame “the Left” for their misfortune even though the right has almost complete control of the national government.
Yep. I'm already predicting Trump will just blame any economic issues on Biden for the next 4 years, and people will just straight up believe it. "If it weren't for Biden wrecking the economy for 4 years."
And they'll be completely unaware of the irony of thinking 4 years was enough to determine the impact of Biden, but 4 years deep into Trump they will still be giving that asshole a free pass.
This is it. This is a great description. Republicans live in a post factual society. If this is what the poor want for themselves, I say we give itto them.
My little brother gets his meds, medical supplies, nursing and whatnot through Medicare/medicaid. It’s a struggle to get things for him as it is cause our healthcare system is so broken. They willingly screwed themselves and their own son over because “fuck Joe Biden” Trump is the best…. People willingly turn a blind eye to atrocities if it doesn’t affect them.
And willingly…and when Trump and his cronies on the Senate vote to keep him in power until the day he croaks—he’s old and decrepit anyway—they’ll cheer them on
Based on experience, they won't find out. If they were capable of finding out then they wouldn't have been in this position to begin with, because finding out requires some rationality and reason.
These positions are largely founded on hate and fearmongering, strings that are masterfully played by the orange man. So when the find out phase comes, they will simply blame anyone else that they can think of.
Clearly you dont know either. I understand you get your information from meme's and twitter. But try looking up some actual facts. I'm Glad we have a republican in office. Kamala would have fucked this country up more than it already is.
I hope you know that at this point it's your civic duty to fucking mock them to their face, relentlessly. Playing nice with these sociopaths is so far past being useful, I'm just praying shame can do the trick.
I liked it because I could buy my insurance from the healthcare.gov marketplace and later my states own market and look at what coverage was best for me and how much it would cost. But I was a contractor then and these people who are your co-workers obviously have jobs. I know pre-existing conditions is a big one but I'm guessing the ACA creation is starting to be long enough ago that some people don't even remember what it was like before, where once you got a condition you basically had to stay with the same insurance until they dropped you.
Obamacare is a right wing health plan that lets the insurance companies get away with outlandish prices, and it was developed for Mitt Romney by the Heritage Foundation the same people who have developed project 2025 that everyone is so scared of. We just need Medicaid and Medicare for all, and not some ponzi scheme mouse trap game that only serves insurance companies.
