People really need to understand "Obamacare" is a dogwhistle for conservatives!
For them it literally means 'healthcare for urban black people'. Whereas the ACA means 'healthcare for rural white people'. So when conservative whites say they oppose Obamacare but like the ACA what they are really saying is 'I don't think black people should have the same health coverage as white people'. It's what they meant by the whole 'hurting the right people' thing.
"MAGA" is the old Dixiecrats. They are more economically liberal than the business wing of the GOP, but also fundamentally white supremacist (and straight christian et.) so they want gov that helps them but not 'those' people, they just know not to say it too loudly so they end up sounding more stupid than racist.
These people voted to take healthcare away from others, yes they are stupid for thinking it wouldn't happen to them, but that'a what they ultimately want, help for the 'right' people and none for the 'others'.

Obamacare, the law that allowed flying spirits to swoop down from the sky and eat children in maternity wards? Couldn't be confused with the ACA, which mandates insurance can't deny you for pre-existing conditions and that they can't make unlimited profits from insurance premiums. Definitely not obamacare, which mandates doctors call unelected bureaucrats anytime somebody codes to see if they can perform CPR or not. Couldn't be the ACA which allows people to get preventative services without cost-sharing. Obamacare allows evil spirits to inhabit your body because its made entirely of kenyan witchcraft.

Dude they’re already blaming Biden/democrats on conservative leaning subs for not getting student loan relief done…
They literally can’t even grasp that (1) Biden had a slim majority in the house and senate, and that the Democratic Party isn’t a perfectly uniform party… so the few defectors ruled out a legislative path because every single conservative voted against it, and (2) the conservative SC struck down any executive route he tried to take.
They literally comment that they were in favor of the forgiveness, and then blamed democrats for it not happening... I can’t even comprehend how that mental gymnastics occurs.
This all isn’t even mentioning that he did manage to send out millions in forgiveness that was legal and intended in the written law, but never sent out under past administrations.
I might try to go find those comments and link them. It was genuinely baffling and depressing to read them somehow blame democrats for something that every conservative voted no to and was struck down by conservatives.

*states that had over 50% of voters who voted for Trump in 2024
I live in Arizona, and support our two democrat senators, our Democrat governor, SoS, and AG. Just because a chunk of voters stayed home this past November does not mean that a state is Red.

honestly I can't figure our state out other than maybe the radiation of the sun being 1 mile away from us makes us dumber. You gotta wonder when so many of the people on the reality dating-type shows come from here... There are at least two of us it seems who wear hats in the summer I guess...

I’m a bartender, the day after the election I had to listen to 8 of my guests have a conversation about how Kamala Harris has abortions performed at her rally’s. At her last rally she “apparently” had 30 back to back abortions as a satanic ritual to win the election, but God rebuked her so Trump won. I hear these insane “deep state” conversations every single day.

Yeah there are millions of people in red states that voted blue. It’s not just all dumb asses getting what they deserve. Lots of folks get swept up in the mess that have done what they can to get their state bluer.
I’m in a same sex marriage in Texas. I have done everything I can here to make shit better and bluer. Still gonna be fucked.

The media pushes narratives about red and blue states, but reality is that it’s us peasants vs the ruling class.

That’s just it, though: a third of the peasants think that if they elect fascists, THEY’LL get to be the ruling class. They’re too ignorant to know that it never works that way.

I’d argue staying home meant that they’re perfectly fine with the state going red. So yea, the state is red.

So Reagan's "welfare queens" should have been depicted in cowboy hats and tropical shirts in his ads?

Recently unemployed in Texas and can confirm: there are no other state options for [relatively] affordable healthcare. It’s the ACA or nothing.
Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.

It’s not even cheaper in Alabama because our governor refuses to expand Medicaid.

Shut down the ACA and let blue states run their own programs. Let the red states die on the vine. Fuck em all. Sorry to be the kids, get out when you turn 18 and go to college in a blue state, let your idiot parents deal with the consequences of their decisions.

Now hold on, man. Just because these people make use of the affordable care act doesn't mean they have any use for obamacare!
