How stupid do they think we are?

They are trying to sell this plan like it is a good thing for the American people. We all know this is a death warrant for seriously ill people, for elderly people and a complete give-away for the one percent.

Is anybody falling for this shit? I am watching them on television right now and I am so insulted I could vomit.

whatever bullcrap they come up with to blame Obama, Hillary, President Carter, the dark side of the moon, etc. when what's actually in the law starts to kill them and/or people they love. These people are dumb enough to elect these cretins. They get their "news" from an echo chamber. They will believe what they are told within said echo chamber.

You have to suspend all logic and critical thinking that you're inherently used to employing when looking at the world. We've reached that point, IMO. There's no explaining it in a rational sense. There are millions of fucking idiots out there and they vote. Period. I won't be shocked, if this were to somehow become actual law, to see Faux posting a video of a guy grumbling, "DAMN YOU, OBAMA!" with literally his last breath of life even though he had healthcare until the repeal. Things have fallen that far down the shithole.

...you couldn't grasp HOW STUPID THEY THINK AMERICANS ARE.
And they all got elected on that premise, so something's working.

something that we should be happy about. Most of us Dems know what a nightmare this is going to be for the country. I just can't understand why republican voters are so stupid and gullible.

That we won't be able to figure this out and they can slip it right by us. But they would be wrong about that. Not all of us sip their koolaide and there might be a few among us with the wherewithal to understand it enough to explain it to those who don't. So if they think their little dog and pony show they staged at the White House this afternoon is going to pave the way for a bigger party after the Senate deals with this bill, they have another think coming. Especially tRump.

Their self congratulatory party this p.m. sickened me and I am sure others were horrified at the lies they felt they had to tell us to justify their rally. I hope they wear this day proudly, get enlargements of the photos to hang on their walls. Because when it is all said and done, let us not forget who tried to foist this turd off on the American people. The reality of trump's "beautiful" plan will be revealed soon enough. And woe be to the man or woman who endorsed it with their vote!

There is no way this isn't going to come back to bite them in the ass and I can't wait to see it happen.

Every last one. And that includes Trump if he hasn't quit or been impeached.
