    What we see from the outside, is that a lot of people (poors, rednecks, trailer park people, etc) voted for him to gut ObamaCare, not knowing they were on it too... All those people don't want to pay for others healthcare even if they themselves don't pay a penny in taxes and get them for free.

    They liked the Affordable Care Act, they just didn't like Obamacare.

    It's even worse than that

    If you were chatting with them and you used the proper name "Affordable Care Act" or ACA to describe Obamacare they would immediately think it is a dog whistle for communism and that it was just a way for liberals to rebrand Obamacare. Their entire universe is backwards, inside out, and upside down.

    Osho was right. Successful democracy relies on the people's collective intelligence. Unfortunately, some demographics are running on a deficit of intelligence and/or factual information.

    It starts with the school system. When the schools break down society does too.

    It starts with the press. The reason they have the first amendment is to maintain a well-informed populace. And they fucked it up.

    They’re still fucking it up! If it was doing what it’s supposed to do people would be freaked out because it would be so different from the propagandized sludge we get now.

    Bigotry and hatred are all about confirming your own status, even if those confirmatory actions hurt everybody, including you. As bigotry and hatred are illogical, however, you just say "but [outgroup] is being hurt more than I am!" and laugh it off, even as your family suffers.

    Back in 2015, he said that if Secretary Clinton was elected president, there would be a taco truck on every corner. Why he stumps for the other side, I never understand.

    Play that soundbite over footage of sick children with parents who can't afford healthcare.

    He thinks that's a bad thing, because it means people who already have healthcare would have longer lines at the doctor and more wait for services.

    Except in reality universe healthcare = more preventative care = shorter lines for the ER and fewer critical cases cause people got taken care of earlier.

    Universal healthcare would mean less demand for emergency care.

    also (australia here), i don’t think i’ve ever waited more than a week to see my specific doctor, and i can usually find someone that day if it’s urgent?

    oh also i can call a number and get a doctor to come to my house in a few hours

    also it’s all free (other than taxes, but i guarantee my taxes are cheaper than insurance!… and you can pay more for more luxury care - which the government subsidises the same amount)

    … also also i still have private insurance for some “make life nicer” non-necessities

    And then he complains that she laughs. In case you haven't noticed, Dotard, we're all laughing. At you.
