It's official. Donald Trump is a threat to Americans. But will they have the balls to take action?

A recent survey showed that something like 25% of Republicans wouldn't care if Trump walked out on to 5th Ave and shot someone as he famously said.
The only way the most malleable, ignorant and impressionable members of our society are going to wake up is when THEY get personally fucked. They're too dumb to understand why tax cuts to the richest screw them. Or or how dirty air and water will impact their lives. But health care might be the wake up call they need. As soon as Grandma can't get her meds or their kids can't be seen by a doctor, maybe they'll start to figure out the game.

@Ynotisay Do you think? What about those people who voted for Trump and hate Obamacare?

@CanadianGentleman1976 They hate the ACA because they've been told to hate the ACA. Costs have risen at a slower rate than they would have without it. Countless Trump supporters now have access to healthcare that they wouldn't have otherwise. They've been systematically taught to fight against the wrong enemy. They support those fucking them the most. The U.S. is a dumb country. A place where belief will often "trump" fact.

They hate Obamacare because of the name I think. Which is why Trump and the Republicans wanted to get rid of Obamacare, because it was Obama's baby. That's it.

@CanadianGentleman1976 You're right. It's also why Republican governors did everything they could to make it fail in their states. There's no choice in some states because of them. Period. The people suffer so they can serve their real interest which is corporate donors. It's all pretty black and white which makes it even harder to swallow.
