What might well happen now, sadly, is that our cynical, sociopathic “president”, full of envy and hate for anything Obama, will sabotage the ACA. He has said as much. There is an outside chance that, with the midterms coming up, the republicans will agree to work with the Dems to fix the ACA. The only way the ACA implodes, explodes, or fails is if trump and his cadre of sharks in the republican congress, fail to take steps necessary to shore up the ACA. What they are doing now is intentionally sowing uncertainty into the market, and they know damn well that insurance companies detest uncertainty. Like I read elsewhere, it’s like a doctor saying to a patient “I see you are having trouble breathing” while stepping on his oxygen tube. The whole situation is tragic. A tragicomedy. We have a president with a dangerous mental illness being abetted by a congressional majority full of right wing extremists and bought congress members. History won’t look kindly on these people. I wonder if they even care about that. It’s like they live in a bubble, and they have convinced themselves that they are doing the right thing. It’s so infuriating if I let it get to me. I just tell myself that I didn’t cause or help this situation to happen. In fact, I did everything I could to stop it from happening. It was so obvious right from the start what kind of president Trump would make. What is there about him that people like? Are they assholes too? I guess it’s like Hillary said in that quote that was taken out of context: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2016/sep/11/context-hillary-clinton-basket-deplorables/. The world now sees us as the Stupid States of America. And they are right about 40 percent of the people who voted. And that’s another thing. Liberals and moderates are too lazy to vote, in many cases. Rock-ribbed conservatives vote. They always vote. So we who are on the right side of history need to get on the right side of voting and get off our asses and vote. The only excuse should be if you have to be at a funeral. Yours.
