FFS! Stupid is stupid, and stupid is about to get run over!

http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/11/29/1605167/-Morons-who-voted-for-Republicans-now-worry-they-will-take-away-their-health-care-as-promised

In Clay County, 60 percent of residents are covered by Medicaid. They voted for Republican Matt Bevin 71-27, and for Donald Trump 86-11. Neither Bevin, nor Trump, made their opposition to Obamacare secret.

So how does that happen? Because of shit like this:

"If anything changed with our insurance to make it more expensive for us, that would be a big problem," [Lisa] Botner, a community college student, said Friday at the Owsley County Public Library, where she works. "Just with the blood tests, you're talking maybe $1,000 a year without insurance."
But then ol’ Lisa Botner voted GOP.

"I'm just a die-hard Republican," she said
Moron. And don’t tell me this was about economic insecurity, because she literally voted to make her economic situation more insecure. It’s what happens when racism and xenophobia trump economic self-interest.

[Maru Kitteh]

1. K & R.

The constant wink&nod routine from Republicans has assured whites that when they are talking about "reforming entitlements" they really mean kicking all the BROWN people off so the "hard-working realamurican" whites can have more.

[TheBlackAdder]

29. If she's lucky, she might be a "DIE HARD Republican," else she's in some serious shit!

[DK504]

33. She's gonna DIE HARD thats for sure.

[DonCoquixote]

30. THIS

so this

[guillaumeb]

2. Recommended.

Racism, xenophobia, and a corporate media that follows the shiny object and ignores the issues.

[Warpy]

3. "You are getting exactly what you voted for"

is my response whenever any of them complain about regressive taxes going up and benefits disappearing.

I won't agrue with any of them. I just tel it like it is and walk away.

[raccoon]

68. Great response. nt

[putitinD]

4. not to worry, they will just blame it on Obama

[RKP5637]

5. Sadly, that is exactly what will happen. Dump will tweet something like "we can't fix anything

because Obamacare was a disaster, now it has to cost you big time. Sorry!" The the idiot factor in the US, significant number, will believe it. Damn, the collective IQ of the US must be about 70.

[rurallib]

6. the corporate media will then repeat this to death

making sure to have commentors tell us how bad Obama screwed us.

[LenaBaby61]

7. Could care less ....

About them losing their health care.

They didn't see nor care about the bigger picture

A hard head makes for a soft behind. I only hate that many of us young and old alike knew what time it WAS and voted for the right candidate. We'll more than likely have to suffer through a pretty sizable part of of our lives due to their naiveté, ignorance, bigotry which made them vote for this hideous, pathological, ignorant choice of a president in tRump, and even still many of those deplorables etc. will have nerve to blame Pres. Obama for their president's failings, and there will be MANY.

THEY own it. He's THEIR president, and will never, ever be mine.

[JDC]

66. I am in this camp

Completely. They own it. Fuck em

[TeamPooka]

8. Fuck anyone who voted for these two assholes Die-hard Republicans can die hard for all I care now nt

[liberal N proud]

9. Updating my post election prediction...

In 6 months (was 2 years), no one will admit to voting for this bastard.

[Angry Dragon]

13. I agree .........

So if that happens then Hillary should get the win!!

[muntrv]

10. Botner is a tool.

[Cha]

11. Stupid is about to be rewarded for

being so gd stupid

[NanceGreggs]

12. Millions of people will suffer ...

... over the next four years due to Trump and the GOP.

But none will suffer as much as those who voted for him, because they'll know they brought this upon themselves.

It's like a woman who marries an abusive man. While her family and friends, who warned her not to do so, suffer when she winds up bruised and battered, no one suffers as much as she does. Along with the physical injuries, she has to endure the humiliation of being betrayed by someone she trusted, and the pain of knowing she could have avoided it all simply by making a different choice.

[Joe Bacon]

19. Nope.

Every last one of them will blame Obama.

[bdamomma]

62. they are nothing but

a bunch of hypocrites. Blame Obama they screwed his legacy. Shit.

[LisaM]

31. But I don't want them to suffer.

That's the real difference between them and us. I don't want them to suffer, and they clearly don't care in the least if others (yes, that includes me, so I guess I'm selfish) do.

[Bear Creek]

36. They are like drug addicts

We have to have tough love and let them hit bottom. They have to be woke up to the fact that the republicans have been the ones screwing them over. We will be there to pick up the pieces.

[LisaM]

40. I have trouble accepting that.

Some of them are children, some are in cycles of abuse, so were taught wrong.....many are in a cycle of poverty......

For the ones who are just plain mean, though, yes, let them fall off the cliff. I'll hold part of the safety net, but I want them to think about it on the way down! Fair enough?

[Bear Creek]

47. Chosen

Those people chose, they were worried about baby parts. Should have thought things through. They need to experience it to realize the truth.

[Xipe Totec]

14. Die hard, Lisa. nt

[Vinca]

15. The key word is "die." Some people will and some will go bankrupt.

[okieinpain]

16. i've read that story 3 times now and all i can

do is shake my head and wonder why the fuck do i have to live with someone like that.

[RKP5637]

24. It's damn hard to soar like an eagle when you're forced to fly along with a bunch of turkeys! n/t

[okieinpain]

26. +1 n/t

[Bear Creek]

41. Stupid

It is like the old couple who lost their house to One West and then voted for Trump. But today on NPR they had 2 stories about the ACA. One woman because of the previous condition because of something she was born with was able to start a business and does not want to lose her insurance not sure how she voted. The other story was about a man who sold insurance got a good plan through the market place then the carrier pulled out. Bought different insurance and and mad because the health care was not good across the river. None of what he was complaining about had to do with the ACA. It was just the insurance company way of doing business. I have ran into the same issue myself several years ago.

[Best_man23]

17. Ms. Botner, you bought the Con

You. OWN. IT!!!

Future letter to person in story:

Dear Ms. Botner:

We have reviewed your medical case and have determined that your hyperthyroidism is a pre-existing condition that is excluded from coverage by your plan.

Sincerely,

U.R. Focked
Medical Administrator
Big Medical Insurance Co

[onethatcares]

18. you left out

Perhaps you could find a church or some such entity to pray to Jeebuss for your cure. Amen

Head Pharisee

[Joe Bacon]

20. Yeah, a church bake sale will cover the cost for chemo...

Dont expect any help from pulpit pimp preachers, though...

[Best_man23]

21. Yeah, I forgot about that

Whole healin power of Jeebus thing.

I guess she could try some of Granny's Rheumatism medicine...

[benld74]

22. Isn't it spelled Morans??nt

[RKP5637]

25. ...

[NBachers]

23. She's young enough to roast alive when the atmospheric methane flood turns Earth into an oven.

Sorry I won't be around to see it happen.
If only there was a way that only Republicans would suffer the pain that their vicious behavior has inflicted upon the rest of us.

[AtheistCrusader]

27. Now that's funny right there.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

28. It is so discouraging the there are so many like her out there.

I think this specific woman will understand that when her insurance changes, becomes more expensive, drops her for a pre-existing condition, she'll understand that it is the doing of the Republicans.

As others have already pointed out, most will still manage to blame Obama.

I just wish that these things could fall most heavily on those who voted for Trump, but alas, we will all suffer more or less equally.

[RKP5637]

32. That, is the sad part, we will all suffer because of these damn stupid fools! n/t

[malaise]

34. I wish only they would suffer

Sadly others will too

[RKP5637]

35. They're taking us all down with them, eventually! I often wish we could cut them lose so they could

float off on their own and reap the rewards of their stupid mistakes than taking us down with them.

[roamer65]

37. The answer is for progressive states to band together and establish single payor.

If anyone tries to move to them from a non-participating state and immediately gain the benefits, simply deny them coverage and ship them back to Jesusland.

Time to start ignoring the federal government.

[RKP5637]

39. Yep, ship them back to Jesusland so they can pray the pain away. FFS, these people are stupid! n/t

[bdamomma]

64. yes the little blue northeast corner

and of course the west coast.

[ffr]

38. Because the Rep brand feels soooo good.

These morons couldn't be convinced otherwise. They ate up what RW TV/Radio were selling. Classic bate and switch.

Yes, they got fcuked and their stupidity, unfortunately, is driving the same bus the rest of us are on. I don't feel sorry for them at all. Not one iota. I hope it hurts them to their cores...sons-a-Bs!!

We talked about this before the election. It's classic selfishness. We voted for the betterment of society, us, you, we. They voted against you and me out of hate, spite and stupidity.

You watch though. We'll end up with another recession, like from 2007 and with the U.S. Treasury raided once again and come the 2018 elections, guess what? They'll vote for Republicans AGAIN.

[RKP5637]

42. Sadly, I'm starting to think the US has to totally crash before these asses get a clue. Then,

it might be possible to build the US back up. I am just so tired of these assholes pulling this country down. Often I wish we could just outright give them part of the US so they could go there and practice all of their evil shit and leave the rest of us the F alone.

[ffr]

46. We burned in 2007 - 2008. It already happened. Republicans caused it.

Obama and democrats have been single handedly digging us out of their mess for 8 fcuking years and this is how we repay them for their hard fought efforts, by election Republicans?!!

You can't burn this country down enough for these freaking bone headed morons to ever get a clue. It has to come to death and hardship. Unfortunately, like I said, their selfish stupidity drives the bus we're all on. We have to pay for their bad judgement. This is why, every day when I wake up to this nightmare I repeat over and over OMG! OMG! OMG!

I cannot believe the predicament we're about to endure YET AGAIN!

[RKP5637]

54. I wish parts of the west and east coast could be separated out. That, is where the knowledge

base is that makes the US as great as it is. Many drag the US down, but contribute nothing. I am so F'en tired of this crap. SOS over and over again from the loon and moron factions of the US.

[phylny]

60. I think that, and then I realize that I live in Virginia, which would necessarily stay

with the U.S. because of the tie$ with the federal government, and it makes me sad.

[RKP5637]

63. I don't know what the solution is. It's definitely a divided country and the last election certainly

proved that again.

[bdamomma]

65. exactly, it hurts more

when you have a brain.

[johnnyrocket]

43. When has a Republican voter ever made that connection between benefits and who they vote for?

These voters never get it, they keep going for the football, over and over again.

[ffr]

50. This

We can thank James Comey for must of this mistake we're about to endure.

[progressoid]

44. I posted the NPR version of the story to Facebook.

A trumpanzee told me to "give it a rest, The election is over!"

I guess they don't want to know about the reality of the person they voted for.

[phylny]

61. I do like that word, trumpanzee. n/t

[gulliver]

45. I wonder how Trump is going to take away healthcare from just his non-supporters?

I don't think he can.

On the other hand, if he wants to give better healthcare to his supporters, how is he going to keep it from going to his non-supporters?

Trump's repeal and replace slogan always said he was going to make healthcare better. Here, read it for yourself.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform

How is he going to "broaden healthcare access, make healthcare more affordable and improve the quality of the care available to all Americans.?"

[RKP5637]

55. Trump, has no F'en idea what he is doing and moreover probably doesn't care. He's a

psychopath.

[Nevernose]

48. At least rural Kentucky will be safe from ISIS

What with manly man Trump in charge. And those darned illegal aliens will stop stealing jobs from Clay County residents, so the real Americans can finally go back to being regular unemployed because there aren't any jobs and never fucking will be BECAUSE IT IS RURAL KENTUCKY.

[RKP5637]

57. They've been sold a bill of goods. A couple of large companies I worked for tried to locate

facilities there. None wanted to go, only 20% did. Not enough talent was there and it's hard to convince highly educated people to go to some bumb fuck town, live in the middle of nowhere and where the locals are hostile toward you because you're not DUH like them.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

49. post now moot, thanks

post now moot, thanks

[RKP5637]

58. Oops, thanks, fixed!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. This buyer's remorse is predictable but it must be amplified as much as possible. . nt

[lindysalsagal]

52. Ironically, Florida will disappear first when the ice caps melt

I wonder if they'll believe in human-created global warming then?

Nope. They'll STILL vote republican, to kick gays and blacks.

[turbinetree]

53. Did these twits and I use this term just like it means twits

didn't read the fine print when there "guy's stood on stage and outright lied to there face during the national convention for the reich furhrer position of fascism.

Did they happen to read the right wing republican convention platform? did they not hear for the last 6 years that they wanted to take away there health care and voted over 50 times to do it.

Did they not have there tin foil hats on straight.

These two clowns remind me of Bullwinkle, and he was a pretty smart moose, if you didn't notice there ladies, he really was.

And in this cartoon bit listen to what he says at the very end of the hat trick, and take it from there. if you don't understand

let me explain it to you now--------------he had the wrong hat

and for you enjoyment ladies take a look at this episode and think of your donald, oops, I mean herr grumpenfurher and see if you can use your imagination, and see how ingenuousness this cartoon program really was

So tell the whole world that your still a die hard right wing republican and then come crying like you didn't know

[saltpoint]

56. You can vote for Trump and then, afterward,

ask where in hell your healthcare went, much in the same way you can drive up to a filling station, swipe your credit card, pour gasoline all over yourself and your surrounds, light a match, and then ask why your ass is on fire.

[Different Drummer]

59. R Equals Flag/Guns/Bible

That's all most of them think about.

[SpankMe]

67. I'd like to say "fuck 'em".

But, a lot of *good* people will be losing their insurance, too.

[RKP5637]

69. Yep, it's a bad situation all the way around. n/t

[geretogo]

70. These Fascist gangsters give the finger to democracy because they own it all now . He who owns

and rules our " public " airwaves rule the people . The only way to restore democracy will be many
millions of the people in the streets with guns and ropes . It always ends this way if history is any
teacher .

[DFW]

71. The Republican Party doesn't want poor Die Hard Republicans

They want poor Die Easy Republicans--or else ones that don't get sick (or at least never seek treatment).

If Lisa Botner should come down with some left-threatening disease, if she gets her way, she'll be a dead Republican, which will be just fine with her party leadership as well as with her insurance company--if she even has one! From the sound of it, it would be just fine with her as well. Go figure.

[RKP5637]

72. We have a rash of dysfunctional thinking in the US. It's beginning to sound like an infectious

disease, being republican. I'm beginning to wonder if half the populace of the US needs to seek shelter or whatever. This, is going to be a very rough ride. I don't ever recall any president being even remotely close to such a loon such as Trump.

[DFW]

73. Not in my lifetime, anyway

And Truman was still president when I was born. Trump will probably need someone to explain to him why the Oval Office is called what it is.
