“We’re going to have insurance for everybody ...There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can’t pay for it, you don’t get it. That’s not going to happen with us....People covered under the law can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better.”

because the DNC had a scheme to murder their son??

I can't keep up with all the idiots at those other sites.

But seriously, "some" there were actually confused as to why Seth's parents don't want creepy ghouls exploiting their son's death with creepy ghoulish conspiracy theories. Hello.

I know one Trump voter who knew he would get rid of Obamacare, and therefore voted for him, and another who thought he would bring on single payer. Believe it or not, the more reasonable one thought he would do single payer. People see what they want to see.

You can as easily blunder your way into a confrontation as if you actually planned on it.

I'm convinced the 45ers were latching onto ideas
and policies that would relieve them of the burden
of the racism and hate... and make them look better
in their own eyes and, delusionally, in the eyes of
others who always knew better.

You can see the Russian propagandists playing them like a fiddle. I'd feel sorry for them if they weren't doing so much damage to the good causes they think they support.

Most of these people I come across are more interested in role playing as a revolutionary than actually making a difference, unfortunately.

Didn't we have that before. Didn't work so well for most people, as I remember.
