When Trump was president, Republicans fought to repeal the health insurance program.
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance claimed Tuesday night — in contradiction of history — that his running mate, former President Donald Trump, “salvaged Obamacare,” the health insurance program that Trump tried to kill.
During the vice presidential debate on CBS against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Vance, a senator from Ohio, echoed Trump’s own recent revisionism. But the assertion also served to remind voters that Democrats ultimately won the yearslong political fight over expanding access to health insurance: The Republican ticket no longer wants to repeal the 2010 law.

When one side of the political spectrum continually lies about literally everything, stating the obvious has basically become the job of journalists.
Man… that really bums me out. I wish we didn’t have to be here.
If you don’t like it, vote.
I have. Every election. Yet we’re still here. Got any other suggestions?
The problem isn’t that they lie about everything well not the big problem. The real problem is the cultists believe the lies. We have the truths on video and the will choose to be duped.
People are down voting this, but you’re right. Politicians that lie is a problem, but not a new one, and not one that we don’t know how to handle. People believing the lies of the politicians is what mostly gets us into our hot water. Critical thinking is at a critical shortage these days.
Honestly my problem isn’t with the MAGA hat wearing dingdongs out there who drink the kool-aid without question daily. It’s the “undecideds” that piss me off. The people who can’t be faffed to pay enough attention to what is going on beyond their home to realize who it is that actually has their best interests in mind. The women who voted for Trump and then after his SCOTUS picks gutted a woman’s right to abortion were all shocked Pikachu about how that happened and how the state they live in is now completely blocking their access to life giving medications and procedures in the name of saving fetuses that they won’t give two shits about once born.
Or the fucking morons who were utterly flabbergasted that the removal of the benefits of the ACA and the government assistance offered by it suddenly cancelled their ability to have health insurance. And then they turn around and buy Trump’s utter lies that it was somehow Biden’s fault and not the entire Republican party who worked tirelessly to get those things shitcanned.
Those are the ones that truly piss me off. And they can all go fuck themselves. Conservatives are just selfish people who don’t care about anyone but themselves and their immediate loved ones(if even that). And I wish nothing but pain and misery on all of them.
And undecideds are dipshit morons who can’t pull their heads out of their asses long enough to see the mess the world and the country is in and realize who’s actually responsible for all of it.
