We can always say "We fucking told you so," to these knuckleheads. For now, let's just validate their feelings of being had, and explain why the Democrats offer (and have offered) something better. "You know how Obama was suppose to take your guns? Never happened, did it? You know how glad you were to have basic medical coverage, even with pre-existing conditions and without lifetime caps on benefits? That was the Affordable Care Act, brought to you by the Democrats."
Should they already know this? Of course. Do they already know this? Maybe, maybe not. Should we enlighten them? Why not? Better information leads to better decisions.
