I know they hate gays, African Americans, Hispanics, trans persons, Muslims, Jews, and Asians, but do they hate them that much, that they are willing to sacrifice themselves?

Deplorables with ACA policies won't be happy, though. And considering how tight elections tend to be in this country, there could be enough of them to make a difference.

(4,429 posts)Most just buy all of the nonsense that Obamacare was broken. It was hobbled BY republicans. So, imo, many will just say, well, Obamacare didn't work, what else could they do..............
It's all so sad. If I had the money, I'd move to Europe. I'm sick of the US (really - I lived through the W years, I can't believe I'm now expected to live through an even worse decade).

That the rich get tax breaks is just an unintended consequence.

(6,042 posts)The non-deplorable Trump voters will care--but the hard core deplorables will either believe he is going to get them something better or will figure they somehow deserve to be kicked in the teeth.

(34,062 posts)They think they get their health care via the ACA, which replaced the failed "Obamacare," and the Republicans are only talking about repealing "Obamacare,' not the ACA.
They won't know until it's gone - and likely they will blame it on some sort of "deep state" sabotage.
