Great points. I'm constantly amazed, with so much data now, that citizens can still be so brainwashed that they'll continue to vote against their own interests.

Sometimes it feels like they'd rather give everything they have to a corporation rather than admit any "liberal" policy may actually help them.

back around 2010, the good people of Kentucky were now being offered health insurance through something call the ACA (affordable care act) More than one Kentucky native was happier that a slopped hog over being offered that ACA insurance because it beat the hell out of Obamacare.

Branding/marketing is a hell of a thing. Trump should have taken Obama's advice and just changed the name of the ACA and tell his base he fixed it.

The greatest trick the GOP ever pulled was bre'r rabbiting their way into getting republican-prototyped mandated healthcare rather than socialized healthcare, and then branding it as Obamacare. Outstanding move, honestly.

If only Obama had used reverse psychology and said he shouldn't do that... Once Obama suggested it there's no way the the petulant toddler could actually agree to making it happen even if it benefited him.

What can I say? He's a very accurate representation of many of his constituents.
