What we see from the outside, is that a lot of people (poors, rednecks, trailer park people, etc) voted for him to gut ObamaCare, not knowing they were on it too... All those people don't want to pay for others healthcare even if they themselves don't pay a penny in taxes and get them for free.
If you were chatting with them and you used the proper name "Affordable Care Act" or ACA to describe Obamacare they would immediately think it is a dog whistle for communism and that it was just a way for liberals to rebrand Obamacare. Their entire universe is backwards, inside out, and upside down.
Osho was right. Successful democracy relies on the people's collective intelligence. Unfortunately, some demographics are running on a deficit of intelligence and/or factual information.
Bigotry and hatred are all about confirming your own status, even if those confirmatory actions hurt everybody, including you. As bigotry and hatred are illogical, however, you just say "but [outgroup] is being hurt more than I am!" and laugh it off, even as your family suffers.
Back in 2015, he said that if Secretary Clinton was elected president, there would be a taco truck on every corner. Why he stumps for the other side, I never understand.
As a German, I'm never not appalled that the richest country in the world doesn't have what is considered normal in all other Western democracies. It's insane.
He thinks that's a bad thing, because it means people who already have healthcare would have longer lines at the doctor and more wait for services.
Except in reality universe healthcare = more preventative care = shorter lines for the ER and fewer critical cases cause people got taken care of earlier.
Universal healthcare would mean less demand for emergency care.
The Trump campaign's approach to this whole thing seems to be identical to the CCP's approach to propaganda against the American military -- make it look awesome. Neither one makes any sense to me, but I enjoy both.
Does anyone else think Americans seem to enjoy making things harder for themselves just so they can talk about the adversity they overcame?
They make healthcare paid for so you need to either be super rich or so popular you can easily fund raise a small fortune because you'll bankrupt yourself for life just to call an ambulance.
I saw George Thorogood at the OC Fairground in 2019 and the guy who supported him was talking about how he had a kidney transplant and how proud everyone should be that they're American because if he lived in any other country he would have died. Ridiculous.
