    Trumpty Dumptys...


    The stupidity and obliviousness of the American public never cease to amaze even the most ardent observers. Ignorance is in such high supply it is simple to understand how one could become numb to the everyday interactions of the bloviating public. However, a recent Facebook conversation between unknown individuals shows just how far down the rabbit hole some have fallen.
    The incident begins with a right-wing individual gleeful that the United States Senate had voted 51 to 48 to repeal “Obamacare”, which is the pet name Republicans gave to The Affordable Care Act (ACA). He nefarious said, “One step closer to fixing this mistake, and only a couple of weeks left of Barry’s regime.”



    One of the individual’s friends chimes in as the first comment lamenting about Republicans acting like “vindictive c*nts” by celebrating the ACA’s repeal in the senate.



    The original poster, however, entirely missed the point and apparently did not understand there is no difference between the ACA and Obamacare. He said:
    First, we’re talking about Obamacare, not the ACA. Secondly, my health insurance is through the ACA, so I’m definitely not the kind of person to look down on others for needing help.


    The stupidity is mind boggling, but the fun is only just beginning. A second individual enters the conversation and harshly asks, “If you’re on Obamacare why the fuck are you celebrating the outcome of this vote? If the Republicans get what they want you’ll lose your insurance.”



    Undeterred the original poster continued on his path of supreme ignorance and retorted incorrectly, again, that, “My insurance is through the ACA (Affordable Care Act), which is what they had to come up with after Obamacare crashed and burned as bad as it did. So I’m gonna be fine.”



    WOW! This fine specimen here has taken idiocy to an entirely different dimension of stupid. Not only do they not understand that Obamacare and the ACA are the exact same program, but they have also contrived — seemingly out of nowhere — a second health care program which was created as an answer to Obamacare. This begs the question if the individual believed the ACA was the answer to Obamacare, why would Republicans bother repealing it at all?

    Nevermind the fact that the ACA has saved billions of dollars and 10s of thousands of lives, while granting millions of Americans the ability to access medical care.
    After the individual was jarred with the knowledge that they had been personally bamboozled by Republicans, they fell silent in the conversation. This silence did not prevent the other conversation participants from cackling with joy about the poster’s own stupidity.

    As all of the names have been removed there is no way to verify if this conversation actually took place or not. While on the surface it does rightfully appear amusing, it is ultimately not funny but tragic. Millions of individuals in the United States believe exactly as the individual in the conversation does.

    Review the entire conversation below:




    I totally empathize with the people that are exposing this guys stupidity. Which one of you clowns is this?

    It's the very definition of nepotism.
    The guy can't take a dump without one of his close family members holding his hand.
    Can you imagine the shrieking from the right is Obama would have made a close family member an advisor?
    You have nearly stumbled upon a legitimate concern, congratulations good at least coming close for once.

    There will be an extremely strong pro jewish stance among most of the people around him, there needs more balance in that area.

    Great innit!

    What's truly amuzink to observe, is how the amplitude of their plaintive mewling is increasing as we get closer to the glorious day of the inauguration.

    Sad desperation at it's finest moment...

    I said the appointment will be challenged and it will.

    Technically the WH isn't a federal agency.

    Again you underestimate Trump. He's no amateur!

    He's a proffessional slight of hand artist.

    You wont ever catch up!

    Get over it!

    Prepare for the glorious inauguration of President Donald Trump....

    That will be decided not decreed. The WH is the headquarters of the executive branch of government.
    I cannot believe you people actually think a family member should be allowed to be part of the President's senior staff. The idea is totally unethical. Are you people royalists? It's not a European country in the 18th century.

    Obama got elected on a 'Hope and Change" ticket, and failed to deliver. He left the middle class, reeling from the recent GFC, no better off than when he began.

    Trump ran a largely negative campaign, based on race baiting and a vague promise to "make America great again", but no details as to how. He has already backpedalled on several of his more outlandish campaign promises, and I see nothing in his vague policies or choice of senior advisers that will deliver money back where it belongs- with the middle classes. It is they who determine election outcomes.

    A long way to go I guess, but my prediction is he will be a one termer. Hopefully in the meantime the Dem's will learn to listen to their Constituency- not ignore them as before.

    Not only 'their' constituency, but the majority of the 'country'. A ton of people have no problem with LBGT rights, equality, abortion, etc... But when you start to pander to BLM, playing the race card, going against 2A, trying to convince the world that Obamacare is 'better' etc... You just throwaway votes and alienate your party.

    Only way the Dems get back in in 4 years is if they get some fresh meat and fresh ideas and only if trump messes up so badly, that people are so fed up they would vote for anyone, similar to this election cycle.

    The fact of the matter is, if Trump does well, thats gonna be 8 strong years.

    What majority do you speak of? Only 51% of the electorate bothered to vote in this election. It was the lowest voter turnout in a general election in 20 years. Drumpf garnered 24% of the vote and Hillary took 27%.

    So the question is who is this majority you speak of?

    He already is and I doubt he will get through the next four years. I am just laying back at this point. Why I have not been around this thread much in the last few days. It is the same ole shit.

    The ship of fools (Earl, Longway, repeater) spew the same garbage ad nauseum with total repetition. It is a total waste of time to respond to their dribble. Lets get into things that matter at this point like policy and cabinet appointments.

    It is quite amusing to see the morons that cheered on Trump seemingly oblivious to the fact that he's making them look like a right bunch of c u n t s.

    The latest, "We're going to build a wall, and we're going to give more tax breaks to the rich, both at your expense", is fucking classic.

    They really are dimwitted fuckers, aren't they?

    Im talking about a majority of the overall voter base, republican and democrat.

    If the dems, again, just like this cycle, pander to only the BLM supporter type apologists or basically only their hardcore base, like HRC did in this election cycle, they will lose again. The only way they are going to win is if they have something that most people on both sides can swallow. It does not matter about pandering only to 'their constituents' as the popular vote in this election cycle clearly illuminates.

    I know about the statistics. Trump still won. The reason is the dems were horrible, horrible throughout, not the voter turnout.

    Opinion, same opinion constantly repeated, ad nauesum by posters like yourself. It cuts both ways.

    To be honest, I don't think there is anything Trump can do, good or not, that will appease people like yourself, or the media.

    Can you just be logical for one second and take bias aside. The cabinet he has appointed it beyond appalling. It is clear that Bannon is the master architect behind those appointments. His goal is to break the federal government and replace it with corporapist and the company store.

    You talk as though you are sitting on a crystal ball but the fact is all your talk up to this point is speculation on your part, but short of turning the US into a socialist state anything Trump does will amount to turning the federal government into a corporatist state. As far as having a civil discussion with you, impossible it is either your way or it turns into an insult match. Come back in a few months and maybe a logical discussion based on Trumps performance could be possible as for now it is pure speculation.

    ^ forget it, if fake news doesn't work they will trawl fb for trivia to continue their forecasting their nonsensical scenarios of doom. They seem constantly on the verge of a collective nervous breakdown; it gets more ridiculous by the day.
