honestly I’ve been developing a theory of why things have gotten to this point and a lot of it has to do with the liberal inclination to think that 50%+ of the country is stupid and unintelligent. i think for the most part, conservatives understand that they’re being lied to, but they simply don’t care because their politicians deliver them the things that matter - less taxes for the Ford and jetski dealers, sure, but mostly they own the libs and the people who talk down to them. they know the republicans are going to keep black people out of their neighborhood. there’s some % that are all-in on trump and have been brain poisoned by the internet, but it’s probably on aggregate the same % of people who are all-in on leftism in america but the rest... it’s why bernie did well in fox townhalls or w/e, because he didn’t treat the audience as stupid. i don’t know how you get beyond the point we’re at now without people actually recognizing that you can’t write off half the country as unsalvageable idiot golems who need their coastal betters to show them the way

the aca makes a few things slightly better in the current lovely system, but ultimately it's still unaffordable to a huge swath of people as the cheapest plan is several hundred a month with a deductible that results in bankruptcy for the kind of people who need cheaper insurance through the exchange

I think the original point was "they're offering a politician that doesn't talk down to them". I think also 2A stuff and curtailing abortion rights are two huge "culture" issues if boomers on facebook is anything to go off of.
