See, that's the thing. The very thing.
The Republicans promised to repeal and replace Obamacare the moment the voters gave them all the power.
To show their earnestness, they passed more than 60 full and partial repeals, and this tickled the balls of the rubes. Each and every time.
But this was theater. Each repeal was a hoax because the Republicans knew Obama would veto any repeal.
Now, Donald Trump can spot a hoax from a mile away, and so he joined up with the Republican hoax bandwagon and HE promised to repeal and replace Obamacare. And he upped the ante by saying he would do it on Day One.
That was on his election site. Day One. He erased it the moment he was elected. That's just the kind of liar the rubes fell in love with.
So now the Republicans, they have the House. They have the Senate. They have P.T. Barnum in the White House.
Oopsie! We don't have a replacement. We wuz just hoaxing the rubes to get all the power for ourselves so we can grift the fuck out of lobbyists and special interests.
Did the rubes get mad?
Nope. And that ensured they would be hoaxed a thousand times thereafter, because they BEG for it, and never learn.
So, that's the thing. The very thing.
By lying and hoaxing and raping the rubes, Trump and the Republicans made Obamacare immortal.
Or at least until we end up with UHC, which they have also made inevitable now.
