I know it’s not productive to mention how the ACA was a mistake from the onset and almost certainly made what we’re seeing today inevitable (considering how Obama essentially got the OK from insurance companies), but won’t stop being annoying about it. Sure I really appreciate how it allowed me to stay on my parents insurance until I was 26, but it feels like a slap in the face now that I know what people without insurance have to go through. It’s fucking criminal
I’m preaching to the choir as I often do, but none of this started with Trump and I’m starting to think it’s impossible to get normies to understand that
Shit will have to go down for normies to get it. That being said, we saw some people who would rather die than face the truth about COVID.

So many people think that whatever happens under the current president, as reported by the media, is their sole fault. This is why we have the liberals at brunch meme because the reporting on the border and other issues is much more positively phrased when Democrats are in power so they assume no changes are needed. Then the reporting changes when a Republican is in office and they get mad over the same issues.
I think people are afraid to think for themselves about what's going on, they just want the algorithm to serve them their opinion. This is probably why propaganda and sponsored content are so effective.
