Can someone please explain something to me. If tRUMP voters are now upset that their Obamacare may be taken away, why were they cheering at tRUMP's rallies when he said he'd be repealing it??

(26,219 posts)She told me that they were starting to see hints of that, and that they were discussing using ACA instead of "Obamacare" (or in conjunction with it) in their articles. They only published 2 (!!) with the new style in the next week and were flooded with angry people accusing them of promoting fake information.
Opened their eyes wide. Now they are using both names together in some form of "also known as" or "nicknamed" and are hearing from a lot of pissed off people who didn't realize they were voting to kill their own insurance plans.
The stupid runs really deep here.

I feel like now that we're seeing how much this plan is liked in this country, I'm hearing it being called the ACA instead of Obamacare....when it was considered a bad plan, it was called Obamacare!

They lose their temper and rant, but some woman - wife or daughter - will always be there to soothe and manipulate him into doing the right thing.
Facts are overrated.
Realities are way more different.
