There is such a level of ignorance about how government works that all you have to say is that the Democrats did it, and they will continue to vote for Republicans. Yes, I live in a red state. It is heartbreaking. I've tried talking to some of them but they just flat out down't believe me. Oh yeah, Fox "news" runs on most TVs in local businesses, even the gym.

The infrastructure project that has been ongoing for a few years now has a huge sign with the governor's name on it, not President Biden's. And everyone believes their reps and governor made it so.

We have a Democratic governor and attorney general, but the Republicans seized control of the state legislature in 2010. (Because voters were told to be angry about the ACA.) The Republicans seized control majority in our state legislature gerrymandered NC to the point where they hold a super majority, even though the state is split evenly between Democrats and Republicans.

The N.C. GOP was forced to redraw the maps but the Supreme Court overturned that, so we're back to one state rule. Not democratic at all.

As always

very difficult to have any sympathy for these people.

He is so blatant I wouldn't put it past him.

their constituents.

Republicans only care about consumers who can pay prices.
Republicans only care about costs and profits to be made in the rather simplistic, rigged game they want to play.
They don't care about any actual value, sustainability, or real, tangible life outside their game.

Healthcare is one of the better job generators. Once the insurance payments dry up, healthcare workers are going to lose jobs. And I suspect cuts will be most pronounced in low density population areas.

What a lot of folks miss is that the ACA is really a job creation program.

And to work the needed until they die. No more retirements except for the very wealthy.

Because they don’t believe in government.

Because they’re fundamentally fascists and social Darwinists.

And because they believe – incorrectly – that programs such as the ACA ‘foster dependence’ on government; affording health insurance is like having a nice house or car, if you can’t afford it, you don’t deserve it, if you can’t afford health insurance, it’s your fault, it’s neither the role nor responsibility of government to save you from your faults and failures.

This is one of countless reasons why Republicans are unfit to govern; why Republicans are incapable of sound public policy and responsible governance.

These Republicans perceive this demographic which needs these subsidies are unlikely to make campaign contributions to them

If you're not rich, you don't matter to Republicans.

Rpublicans instead believe in the violent aĺcoholic "daddy state"

The comment "all are republican controlled states" may not be true by this time next year.

Either
- Kamala would be/have been worse
or
- Yay! This is what I voted for! Beat me harder!
