Trump warns in Missouri that "if Democrats gain power on Tuesday, one of their very first projects will be a socialist takeover of health care... The Democrat plan would obliterate Obamacare."

Now the orange one is trying to tell his followers that he will be the defender of Obamacare??????

(6,496 posts)It's Obamacare. People named after a Democrat president. He acts like Obamacare was brought to us by the Republicans. No, the Republicans tried to get rid of Obamacare well over 60 times now. If anyone is going to obliterate Obamacare, it's the Republicans. Democrats will try to strengthen the program and make it better.

(33,543 posts)TrumPutin is pushing the GOPer plan to its extremes -- pander to every crazy faction out there without worrying about insulting any previously pandered-to crazy faction.
Now he's calling on MAGAts to protect themselves from Democrats taking Democratic Party accomplishments away from Republicans. Since MAGAts are cultists, it is probably hopeless to explain to them that they can short-cut this threat by simply voting for Democrats to continue giving them Democratic Party programs to improve their lives.

(205 posts)Telling Republicans that Democrats are going to destroy Obamacare when they have been doing themselves. Secondly, isn't that what Republicans want to do? Destroy Obamacare so they really should vote for Democrats?

(129,886 posts)Surprised that they held off that long. It took them 8 years to finally claim as their own, what was pretty much a Heritage Foundation plan that none of them voted for because the "Kenyan Muslin (sic) socialist fascist commie terrorist n-word" spearheaded it while they tried to repeal it upwards of 70 times, defund it, and kill it with a thousand cuts, including shortening the sign-up period and refusing to promote it.

(32,854 posts)The GOP's stupid name-calling ploy didn't work. And now it has backfired on them, so why don't they just call it the ACA? The Trumpies are getting confused all over again.
Zing Zing Zingbah
(6,496 posts)ACA is not nearly as well known. Republicans tried to tie it to Obama because they thought it would either make the plan sound bad or make Obama sound bad, but people generally like it better than the alternative of having nothing, which is the Republican offering. It didn't have the affect they were looking for there.

(2,410 posts)If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Sound familiar?
Joseph Goebbels said it. And we all know who he worked for...
