    This is the problem with the kind of disinformation the right wing media pushes. If you describe something in as objective truthful a way as possible, suddenly none of this shit is controversial.

    I’ve seen people totally on board with a description of public health turn around and just rail against how Obama care is Communist.

    So much of this just depends entirely on ignorance. Kinda why these people are homeschooling in the first place.

      Our babysitter was bemoaning her lack of insurance and my ex told her about the Affordable Care Act. She was thrilled!

      “At least it ain’t that fuckin’ Obamacare!”

      Ex said the babysitter was stunned when it was explained.
