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.

produced show for entertainment purposes. Hey, the idiots were wearing MAGA hats made in China while simultaneously believing Trump when he was telling them that he was going to bring jobs back to America. They're are just not the brightest bulbs in the library.

Hard to believe that his base could be so ignorant! Actually, I'm not surprised at all! Now, that they like the plan, we need to keep calling it Obamacare. 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!

I guess they thought of him like so many of their authoritarian male family members.

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.
