To be fair, it's a flawed argument.
You can be against Google and Apple and still use a smartphone.
You can be against a genocide being sponsored with your tax dollars and still work and pay tax.
And yes, you can use the healthcare system that exists today and still want a different one tomorrow.
Or do you think that advocates of universal healthcare are also hypocrites for using Obamacare?
Well, for almost a decade the GOP has had time to come up with their vision. They ran on "Repeal and Replace" in the 2016 cycle. But when it came time to vote to repeal, they still didn't have a replace option.
Prices didn't go down when the 2018 tax cuts reduced corporate tax by about 30%, I doubt when the ACA gets repealed and insurance companies can drop the uninsurable people they will lower the prices for healthy Americans, because they are already anchored at the higher price.
Look, I wouldn't trust the GOP with my shit stained underwear.
Of course they don't have a better plan.
But voters who vote for them are still voters.
And falling for a false narrative doesn't make them hypocrites.
It makes them idiots deserving a Scumbag Steve meme
