An old article in the NYT, outlines and underscores the irony (and the low level of intelligence) of many red states' citizens, who actually doubled-down and elected a Trumpster.
I resurrected the article in conjunction with today's news that republicans refused to sign on to the suicidal pact that constituted the GOP-inspired TrumpCare bill.
Demagoguery has just met reality.....
States Benefiting Most From Obama’s Health Law........ Elected Republicans
In places where the uninsured rate plummeted this year, Republicans still scored big electoral victories.
Arkansas, Kentucky and West Virginia — states that saw substantial drops in the proportion of their residents without insurance — all elected Republican Senate candidates who oppose the Affordable Care Act. Control of the West Virginia state House of Delegates flipped from Democrats to Republicans. And Arkansas elected Republican supermajorities to both houses of its legislature along with a Republican governor, a situation that could imperil the Medicaid expansion that helped more than 200,000 of its poorest residents get health insurance.
