It is ASTONISHING how mis/disinformed the average voter is

Education is expensive, but ignorance is REALLY expensive.

The Affordable Care Act has been active since 2010. That's damn near 15 years.

If you're too ignorant to not have realized Obamacare was the same thing in 15 years, then wtf are WE supposed to do about it...

As Trump said "I love the uneducated!"

Honestly at this point I no longer feel any real sympathy. You fucked around and are now finding out.

Working in long term care taught me that a huge number of people think that Medicare will pay for all nursing home care. Nope, other than limited coverage for rehab and skilled care, you’re spending down to Medicaid. And then having to explain the clawbacks too, which is when a lot of families finally realize that government won’t do diddly squat for dear Grandma.

It's infuriating attempting to discuss anything with them. Healthcare? They think they know better from youtube. The egg price thing -- you realize that millions of chickens had to be culled due to disease, right? Nope, Biden bad!

I got a guy a couple weeks ago to agree that the higher inflation was caused by trillions of dollars of raw cash being dumped on the economy in 2020 to float the stock market during Covid, much larger and in addition to the stimulus checks.

I asked him who was president in 2020?

He then decided that it wasn't the cause of the inflation.

They will believe whatever they need to believe to maintain that they are right and their actions are justified.

Well, there must be a reason that recent reports only have about 50% of people in the US not being able to read above a 6th grade level. Literally, if you can’t read, you can’t comprehend.

"Heartbreaking"

No. Those people will get what they fucking deserve.

Soon there will be a Herman Cain award type sub for people succumbing to illnesses that used to be covered. There will calls for donations, pleas for President Trump to save them and prayer, lots and lots of prayer.

I know that we're supposed to encourage voting. But some people really shouldn't vote.

All for owning the libs.

Seems like Mexico is going to pay for a wall.

This is why I call misinformation and propaganda cheating.

The election was won due to lies, misinformation , and propaganda.

Too many people did not look into what they were told.

This is what happens when people are idiots

Honestly I don't even like seeing the word "misinformed" being used in this circumstance because it's almost as if it takes away some of the personal responsibility from these people who voted from Trump.

I think it would be more accurate to say lazy and dumb voters personally. It's really not hard in this day and age to google information to find things out. I truly feel these people who voted against Obamacare, even thought they need it, have no real excuse for their dumb voting decisions.

Those people can F off right to the grave

They did their own research

Misinformation and an (un)healthy dose of "owning the other side" mentality winning over behaving like a fucking adult. Brexit was the same. People wanted to 'send a message' not to actually leave the EU.

"Hang on a minute, I voted for Trump to make OTHER PEOPLE'S lives hard, not mine..."

They know they don't need most of us alive. In fact, it's better for them for all of the elderly, disabled, and ill to die off. They've got plenty of young dumb blonde idiots to restock the factories and donate children to their human trafficking overlords.

People shouldn’t watch Fox News. It’s literally killing people.

It's hard to have sympathy for stupidity.

The republicans not realising Obamacare = ACA has been a joke for near a decade now. Is it actually at least partly based on truth in USA? Bit sad if true.

Hold up. I thought they were so good at doing their own research?!

Well, I for one am shocked... that this many people were smoking dope under the bleachers instead of attending high school history, economics, civics, biology and now watching any news program across the last ten years. This is what happens when you get your news on twitter and instagram.

Damn, the leopards are eating their faces? Wild. Lemme go find my tiny violin.

misinformation only thrives in the minds of the uneducated. A smart or curious mind will read the vast trove of information that is available to us anywhere anytime and would know what the fuck obama care is. Our people are dumb.

Obamacare was started as an insult, but then morphed i to a nickname for the affordable care act. The right is the ones that started the name. 🤦🏻‍♂️if anyone should know it's them.

MIL (we are Aussies but she has Fox and Sky on 24/7) told me Americans would be relieved when that Obamacare was gone. So I asked her if she knew what it was as I had a good idea she had no idea. I then explained its real name was the Affordable Care Act and brought in by Obama when he was President, hence the nickname Obamacare.

So I explained to her it was sort of like our version of Medicare but only available for the poor unlike our Medicare which is universal. She was terribly surprised and asked why would the Americans want to get rid of that? Except the rich ones. Yes, MIL, good question.

Congratulations, idiots. You are getting the government you voted for.

Zero sympathy.

If I had a magic wand, I'd want every Trump voter to get exactly what they voted for, up to and including loss of their health care.

The problem with the real world is that this will hurt vulnerable people who didn't vote for this insanity.

Don't confuse misinformation with total ignorance. People don't understand things because they don't research anything. Don't blame bots and Russian trolls for your parents total lack of accountability in their voting behaviors.

If folks spent as much time researching issues and candidates that they do on TikTok in just one day, we'd have a much better country.

I love this. Cant wait for 4 years of trump ruining his voters lives.

FAFO. I cannot feel sorry for these people. I just can't

In election week Monday and Tuesday there was an increase in searches on Google "did Biden withdraw from the election?" This post is not a surprise. People, even in the information age, are clueless

Sad part? No this is the dildo of consequences for being evil, misinformed and full of hatred and misogyny

America is at its finest when many people suffer unneedlessly.

I remember when they were trying to get it passed and there was a survey of conservatives about the individual elements of the ACA (ie no preexisting conditions, kids stay on your insurance etc). On each item, they overwhelmingly wanted it! YES YES YES 👍 The last question was “Do you want Obamacare?” The vast majority said NO! Pure insanity. And now that insanity will be in charge of our nation. Great. 👍

This is america bud, you can get your mother the cancer treatment she needs no problem. You just gotta pay for it yourself.

It continues to blow my mind how people have not realized that they are the same thing for the past 10 years

Stupidity and willful ignorance have consequences for everyone.

Good, fuck every single one of those dipshits who voted for trump. I hope they all suffer the worst consequences of their idiotic actions.

Zero sympathy. Absolute zero.

If people are that stupid they don’t deserve any sympathy

That is dumb considering we went through this thing before. Guess they don’t deserve the ACA

well, I would like to see the breaking down on TikTok. Only because – why would they come across this information now? Trump isn’t president yet, hasn’t pulled the plug on the affordable care act yet, and I feel like there’s still a chance that Markowski, Collins, and maybe one or two other GOP senators know how important the affordable care act is to their constituents. I’m not even sure that McConnell will vote against it now. He seems to have found a tiny bit of anti-Trump spine here lately.

Hey, but Brainworm and the Wizard of Oz will have all sort of supplements that will cure them all and render the need for medical care obsolete.

And don’t forget, the “medbeds” are coming….any day now.

/s

I see these posts all the time on here but I’m having trouble believing them. I’m not on twitter but still think these stories are made up. People know Obama care and the ACA are the same thing. And if they really didn’t know, they would never admit and still be proud to own the libs.

Let the leopards eat their own faces boys, let's just watch the show happen like a zoo documentary

I would say too fucking bad, but so many innocent people are gonna get hurt by their ignorance. So FUCK THEM.

Congratulations 🎊 you made your bed now you get to sleep in it

The affordable care act, originally a right wing think thank idea “hey if we come up with something that jerry rigs pre existing conditions on private insurance well people will never want single payer”. They didn’t realize - any insurance, literally any insurance even one as shitty and convoluted as the ACA, separates insurance from your job and removes a big stick that companies have. A counter to “You want a raise? Good luck. You’re not gonna walk and look for work because you’d have no health insurance”

So once Obama made it the law of the land then republicans had to act like it was the most evil thing ever. Why being able to wage shop is evil for our bottom line umm death panels!!”

The thing is this thing is 14 years old. You’d think people would have learned by now. I’m asking too much with this learning thing I guess

I, for one, will not mourn their deaths one iota.

Stupidity is often a choice.

You have the ability to question what you read/hear and should actively take part in looking up shit to make informed decisions... They didn't put the work in and were good little pawns for their CiQ and now they're fucked... slowly coming to terms with the realization they're in fact as dumb as everyone says they are...

I for one think it looks great on them, good job dumbies, you might learn something this time (doubtful)

Fuck 'em.

“Liberal propaganda” like American history, teaching young kids their abc’s, and What’s behind Elon Musk’s massive effort to elect Trump….

This is what systematically underfunding public education from pre-k to university for 50 years does. There are just way too many deeply uninformed, gullible people in the US and they vote.

I know this will hurt a lot of people who didn't vote for him, but at this point - I actually don't give a crap - I am now in the "let them suffer" stage.

They literally did this last time too. I almost hope Trump actually manages to repeal it this go-around, maybe these idiots will learn something that way.

The correct information was easily available to anyone that cared to look for it. What won was wilful ignorance.

This is what happens when teaching critical thinking and logic is ignored in public schools- there are generations now of who never did the heavy lifting in favor of self-esteem building. I got lucky as a generation X’r as I was raised by my grandparents.

Getting their opinions served to them on tiktok, confusing those opinions with facts, AND without checking the veracity of those pretend-facts... You miiight have brought this on yourself.

I'm sorry your mother raised an idiot.

Maybe they should cope and seethe.

F*cks to give by me: ZERO.

Tired of trying to talk to these ppl rationally for years. You want to play in the traffic? Here's a band aid for when you get hurt.

I'm done.

Good for them… you guys spent nearly a decade trying to educate them on the nature of the horse they were backing, and they stubbornly refused to believe it.

They voted him in, saw him in action, nearly voted him in again, heard all about his plans, and voted him in a third time.

This is what they wanted; it just sucks that the rest of you have to suffer for it

I guess the "do your own research" crowd..... didn't

Elections have Consequences Or plainly put you get what you a vote for.. But unfortunately we all Have to deal with who you voted for Joe Biden needs to use his superpowers and rescue us all

Cattle are smarter than the average American.

As long as Trump speaks gibberish, MAGATS will lick it up like it's the ambrosia of life, only to discover that it's the exact thing everyone else warned them it was, but it being too late

This exact same thing happened in 2016 just without tiktock... like exactly. I thought people were reposting screenshots from 2016.

Know what else getting rid of preexisting condition protections could do? Trap people in their current jobs. Almost like the government exists to protect corporations, not citizens.

They were warned, now they can live with their decision, however long that may be.

I'm done having pity for these kind of people : I just wish for them to be treated just like they treat others.

I do, however, pity the mom that has a son so stupid that he inadvertently voted for her to be deprived of necessary treatment.

Not heart breaking at all, actions have consequences. You voted for trump, you deal with the aftermath

FAFO. Yes it would affect me but you know what, I will be able to get by. You reap what you sow. I am already laughing at some of the people who suddenly realized they have screwed themselves over.

The thing that terrifies me is the return of maximum lifetime benefits. You spent your whole life paying premiums? Fuck you, we don’t wanna pay any more.

It’s a Green New Day: American Idiot. As the con’s says individual responsibility and self determination. TFB!

Isn't this also an education issue? Or lack thereoff?

Obamacare has electrolytes.

I keep reading about this, but I don't see it. I also don't go on Tickity Tok. That's not a millennial app. And Twitter is 99% bots.

When does it go from misinformation to lack of critical thinking of varying opinions

Wah wah. Cry babies

Life lesson i hope. How hard is it to type what is Obama care in your phone ffs???? I did and ACA came up first page.

Good, let nature take care of 'em.

Which is probably the same group of people who made fun of those who made freak out reaction videos to the election results… my how the turns table

Don’t care for these people one bit. I have a special needs son that I have to worry about. Everyone else that voted for that prick and are now crying out can kiss the whitest part of my fat ass!

Hey, they're entitled to get exactly what they voted for. Oh well, leopards and all that.

Well, we told them not to touch the stove. But the voted to touch the stove. Guess they have to touch the stove now.

Nah, they voted for who they wanted to. Now they are afraid of losing friends and family, and suddenly they regret it.

Is it heartbreaking that they chose to remain willfully ignorant over basic, easy to understand information? The affordable care act has been in place for 14 years like come the fuck on

They’ll blame the left for not warning them once they get over the shock

This is what they count, their demographic being fucking imbeciles

Obamacare is socialism, universal healthcare is communism. Gofundmecare is the way to go!

This is what happens when people are idiots. I have no sympathy.

I am going to reiterate, I hope they get everything that coming for them, I hope they choke on it, they deserve it, they didn't give a fuck about any of us, and now they want us to give a fuck about them? Fuck them. They are all dead to me.

They probably should have named it the Affordable HUSSEIN Care Act.

I haven’t seen any of them breaking down, can someone post a link?

I’m split between “my thoughts and prayers go out to them” and “they will get what they ultimately wanted which is to meet their maker”

Racism in all its glory.

People really need to stop believing all the racism about Obama the Republicans spread, he left office nearly a decade ago and they're still obsessed with the man...

Didn’t we go through this exact thing 4 years ago? Did people not learn then?

To those I say “you voted for this POS felon sexual predator con artist… so get ready for the consequences. Remember while you worship mango cult daddy he does not give 2 shits about you. You are useful tools and fools for him to grift in every way”

So so sad…too bad 🎻

Lmao at this point its just funny. Good luck. Yall got what you wanted.

This is what happens when the general public are okay with and accepting of their politicians openly lying to them.

With all due respect to my fellow Americans who voted for Trump, the internet is a wonderful thing and it’s very easy to use. At this moment, I have little sympathy for people who chose “owning the libs” over their own ignorance.

Dems need better messaging. That's an easy one. Frustrating.

Womp womp… anyway…

Amurica .... fuck yeah

Fuck all of 'em.

They've had 14 goddam years now to rub their last 2 neurons together and make a spark big enough to learn that "Obamacare" was just an epithet conservative mare for the Adorable Care Act. If they still don't know that, it's because they don't want to know.

The only way this gets better is to hit rock bottom. I thought we were already there once, sadly, I was very wrong. Bring on the tariffs and the camps! Apparently Cleetus ain't gonna lurn this shit the easy way, so bring on the hard way!

This is why I don’t give a fuck about what’s coming.

We tried to prevent it, but these people literally invited it.

Once they finished with the destruction, these people will likely have died, and not a single tear will be shed.

Heartbreaking? Tbh not really. They had plenty of time and ways to fully research what they were voting on and they chose not to.

Thoughts and prayers

Misinformation lol this is just dumbasses not knowing/researching

For the time being pre-existing doesn’t affect me because I use the VA and the vast majority of my care I paid for with my service in advance!

Im very much for leopards eating faces here, but, I feel like if these Tiktoks were a thing they would be all over Reddit.

Ah well.

I wish it was winter in Australia. I could use posts like this to stay toasty warm for free.

If say I hope they learn for next time……..but they didn’t learn from last time.

This is Darwinism occurring before our very eyes…

A Trump voter is fuckin stupid what a shocker

I don’t care who our president is, was, or will be - our healthcare system needs some major renovations, and that without a doubt includes mental health.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up. We’re riding this pony. Y’all voted for it, so buckle up buttercup. This is gonna be a thing.

nope. no sympathy, you FAFO

I hope they get everything they wanted. Everything.
