If there’s any way they can punch down instead of address their own issues they’ll take it. It’s why they resort to going after made up nonsense or the most vulnerable.

Typical. Everyone else is an asshole, but me.

Yeah, but he deserved that, unlike those lazy librulz.

I literally knew a girl who said this. She truly had no idea that they were the same thing, but rattled on about wanting it gone while benefiting from it.

I also knew an older woman who hated Obama and said "he's arrogant for naming that after himself." She didn't believe me that her favorite channel was the one who named it after him unofficially and that its official name was ACA.

They truly just repeat bullshit until it sticks, and it usually works on the people who don't bother to diversify their information sources. It's so goddamn frustrating.

Te only reason they're not a millionaire yet is because of all the illegal immigrants and minorities taking all the jobs...probably

I mean, technically that's correct, if they keep voting for the guy trying to destroy social security lol

Same vibe as:

"I won't work overtime because I end up losing money on taxes"

That's not how tax brackets work!

If you make the wealthy ultra wealthy then their urine is full of healthy nutrients when they piss on you.

That’s the basis to tinkle down economics.

But voting against it to remove its benefit to others is the hypocrisy. For instance, a cousin of mine was on her parents' insurance until the cutoff of 26 because of Obamacare and was all about getting rid of it. I would point out how she was only insured because of it (this was before her being 26 and booted off) and asked her what her next plan for being insured would be. Of course she didn't think that far ahead and just said she would be 26 by the time anything changed so it wouldn't matter.

The party of grifters is aptly put.

Nah. Relying on the ACA, and voting for people who want to abolish it is a leopards eating faces situation.

The guy in this meme is wrong because he's not paying attention to the wider pressures of society, and the needs of the people he's talking to, when those people just want a better system.

He disagrees with the woman demanding better ethical practices from Apple because she uses an Apple product, but the reality is that it is difficult to navigate modern society without a smartphone, and there's pretty much no brand that doesn't have some ethical failings in their supply chain. It's not hypocrisy to point out a systemic issue, and want to see it resolved, if your participation is unavoidable.

He disagrees with the man wanting seatbelts for his car, because he bought a car without them. Wanting greater safety features for the machinery you regularly operate is pragmatic, not hypocritical. Seeing a problem and offering a solution is a productive thing to do.

But relying on the ACA for access to healthcare, and then voting to have the ACA dismantled with absolutely no plan on how to replace it, essentially denying millions of Americans, including themselves, access to healthcare? That's just fucking insane. There's no call for a better system. There's no suggestion for how to do things differently. Just a call to tear down a system that people rely on for their health.

If you think that we ought to hear the Republicans out on their anti-Healthcare agenda, or that people who rely on the ACA aren't voting against their own interests when they vote Republican, you're not paying attention to what's at stake.
