Thinking back to how stupid and hilarious it was for Vance to try and claim Trump "saved" Obamacare, it dawned on me that we are more than a decade removed from Obamacare's passing, and the GOP is now (and have been) trying to co-opt it...which, of course, is a STARK contrast to their position on it when it was passing.

Obamacare: 1 GOP: -9001

Universal healthcare, by global standards, is basically the benchmark. The "normal". Tot he far-right hellscape that are American Republicans, it's a communist takeover, or whatever. Which made it stupid and hilarious that they tried to paint Obamacare as a far-left, radical idea, especially when it was a more expanded version of Romney's plan in Mass. (which made it extra funny when Romney had to try and run against Obamacare). So, their attacks grew into insane hyperbole about death panels, endless waiting times, doctor shortages, etc., so much that the average voter saw through the bullshit. Rubberband Theory in action, that the GOP never learns from.

Now, Obamacare is the law of the land works pretty damn well (despite the GOP hacking away at it), and is ingrained in our society - exactly as the GOP feared. And yet, the GOP has given up attacking it. Why?

Well, because it works well, and they know it. They never were against it because they \*actually\* thought it'd be a failure or bring ruin. The numbers were there, it was an obviously better idea than the system before. No, they were against it simply because they didn't want Democrats to "win." See, Trump nuking the border deal so they could deny the Dems a victory and have something to run on is nothing new. This is Newt Gingrich's playbook, and has been GOP policy for over 3 decades now: deny compromise or anything that gives the other side a victory. It is the final, most important commandment. 

Of course, now we have them attempting revisionist history, despite the entire Obama era being dominated by the GOP's flat hatred for Obamacare. American Right-wing ideology is a stupid poison upon our society, and all policy by the Right has been fully abandoned in the name of winning and power at all costs.

It's just a tragedy that millions vote for them anyways.
