I remember the hilarious part where they all campaigned for years on "repealing Obamacare". Then they had House and Senate majorities + the Presidency, and guess what didn't get repealed?

It was like that silly video where a dog is barking viciously at another dog, looks super serious and mean, and then the barrier between them is removed and they both act real cool immediately. Then, barrier back in, vicious barking again...

2016 - It will be so easy, it's the worst law in history. We're going to repeal and replace it in the first week.

2024 - I have concepts of a plan.

How fucking dumb is half the country... At least that fucking dumb.

Really really fucking dumb.

So dumb I can't help but wonder where I'm that blind

I like to think that they’re all just non-voting leftists - it helps get me through the day.

For a while, there were a surprising amount of people who wanted to repeal Obamacare, but keep the Affordable Care Act.

Letting it be called Obamacare was probably a misstep for his administration. It'd likely be less disliked if it wasn't tied to his name, and they went with something like "Americare: Because America Cares for you".

Republicans are the ones that nicknamed it that, to try to make their supporters hate it as much as a Black man, even if it hurts them.
