    here’s the thing though: they’ll abolish the ACA, and when people start complaining, they’ll just blame everything on mexicans.

    and trump voters will 10000000% believe it

    The idea of voting for a candidate with whom you disagree on things upon which you depend for your livelihood or survival is just wild to me.

      People vote based on what they think the person is like. Harris is boring and the same old. Trump tells it like it is, that’s exciting!
      Nevermind that boring is what you want for government, you want everything to just work. But no, gotta be emotional about it.

    by jan we will be so consumed by the flavour of the month culture war (trans muslim librarians are coming for your pizza gate!) that they wont even notice its happening.

    by the time they need it they’ll forget who even took it away.

    by the time they vote they’ll just think trump saved them from leftist death panels or some shit.

    edit: oh shit, the q-anon nuts are going to sprout again arn’t they… le sigh

    Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.

    Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it’ll very likely pass.

      That has gotta be hugely unpopular right?
      People would absolutely flip out if we go back to “preexisting conditions”.

        It will be hugely unpopular. It’s not clear whether that will translate to Trump or Republicans becoming unpopular though.

      Non stop fillibusters for 4 years?

      Is that our only hope?

        All it takes to eliminate the filibuster is a bare majority. Democrats did it selectively to carve out exceptions for the few promises they actually wanted to fulfill.

    People should start using the term “cancel” for this, instead of “repeal”. Conservative cancel culture is a very old tradition.

    Yes it will be repealed.

    An Alex Jones inspired health plan will replace it.

    The Trump government will propose the carnivore diet as healthy. Vaccines will be banned. Only Alex Jones Nutraceuticals will be prescribed by doctors. Cardio will be state mandated as an official LGTBQ activity, along with voguing, cardio voguing. Beards will be mandatory, whether you can grow one or not. The only clothing that will be allowed for men will be jeans, stupid meme shirts, motard gear, and line 9 apparel.

    The life expectancy for American males will tank to around 50, women and vaccines will be blamed.

    LAMF != selfawarewolves

    It’s not LAMF unless the consequence they’re bemoaning is precisely the thing they intended to impose on others, not expecting it to be imposed on themself, too.

    It’s very obvious said Trump voter wasn’t seeking the ACA to be taken away from only certain others (they clearly recognize that it doesn’t work that way), so no LAMF.

    When they spoke of mental health care instead of gun reform they meant they would take care of those with mental health concerns by simply eliminating the concerns.

    Ie. Camps and culling.
