You obviously don't read the social media accounts I come across. Or at least the ones that don't make me want to scream at my phone!



Does seem that libs want their leaders to subjugate Trump supporters though

no longer frequenting the nbf mofo room?



PS-- used to lots of non-insane right votes. MAGA Nation is the reason they're looked at poorly

"we will subjugate you by affording the same rights, privileges, and benefits you currently enjoy, to a wider, more inclusive populace."

They won't shed that richly deserved label because they are what they are -- fucking monsters. They're not your grandfather's Republican party. And because of shit like this:



At This Point, the Republican Obsession With Overturning Obamacare Is Simple Sadism



As yet another case comes before the Supreme Court—during a pandemic—even the insurance companies must not want this level of chaos.

The Republican Party, committed now for 11 years to the proposition that people should be allowed to die based on their net worth, as a truly pro-life party would be, took its last whack at the Affordable Care Act on Tuesday, taking its brand-new, shiny semi-permanent 6-3 Supreme Court majority out for its first spin. This effort is as meritless as all the other ones have been, but the calculus changed utterly when the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett was bum-rushed through the Senate. As Jonathan Cohn, who has been a stalwart on this front from longer than anyone should be, put it in HuffPost: The merits of the case are notoriously weak. Even conservative and libertarian lawyers who supported past challenges to Obamacare have filed friend-of-the-court briefs urging the justices to reject this one. For that reason, many legal observers think the chances of this lawsuit succeeding are relatively small. But the lawsuit has already gotten favorable rulings from three lower court judges. All three were Republican appointees, just like the Supreme Court majority, which now numbers six conservatives, with Amy Coney Barrett recently placed on the bench. Tuesday's oral arguments will offer the first hints of how she and the rest of the justices view this case, although an actual ruling will likely wait several months, maybe even until the spring. [***] But, in a long view, the best explanation for the Republican obsession with destroying the ACA remains simple sadism. It can't entirely be donors; the insurance industry surely doesn't want the chaos that would ensue. Republican governors turning down FREE MONEY! has now morphed into a party-wide idea fixe on the level of the party's more self-destructive modern episodes. And now, it gets another hearing before a changed Supreme Court. The smart money says that the Court won't go near overturning the law. The smart money should shut up.
