A Trump Fan Cheering Obamacare Repeal Just Found Out Hes On Obamacare. Hilarity Ensues

COMMENTS


The stupidity and obliviousness of the American public never cease to amaze even the most ardent observers. Ignorance is in such high supply it is simple to understand how one could become numb to the everyday interactions of the bloviating public. However, a recent Facebook conversation between unknown individuals shows just how far down the rabbit hole some have fallen.

The incident begins with a right-wing individual gleeful that the United States Senate had voted 51 to 48 to repeal “Obamacare”, which is the pet name Republicans gave to The Affordable Care Act (ACA). He nefarious said, “One step closer to fixing this mistake, and only a couple of weeks left of Barry’s regime.”

How many people like this voted against their best interests and are now going to suffer the consequences?

And their idiocy is going to make the rest of us suffer.

Depressing.

There's a whole circus of clowns out there who hate 'government-run single-payer healthcare,' but LOVE Medicare.

I can see why Republicans are working three shifts to destroy the American education system.

The very idea of a black man doing something that would benefit them is anathema to them. It runs counter to everything they hold dear to their very core - "no black person is going to help me -dammit".
The Repukes were masterful in labelling it "Obamacare". They knew what they were doing and pushing that agenda that they HAD TO PAY or face a fine just make it more distasteful to them. Labelling - that is what it is all about.

No doubt multiple times too in various forms.

If they actually do repeal Obamacare without a replacement there first, there will be some sad, sad teabaggers along with the rest of us.

They want the lies the RW media feeds them to be true so they stay loyal and become more and more uninformed, just so they can feel superior to the "evil liberals. "
