If you had any doubts before about the cognitive level of Republican voters, remove all doubt.

Everyone by now has seen the incredulous facebook exchange where an ignorant Trump voter crows about the end of Obamacare, only to have friends point out Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing – and which happens to be the health insurance the original poster has. It appears this is not an isolated thing.

@PattyMurray @PPFA Why don’t you shut up Murry. Stop crying. You lost. We won. We are repealing Obamacare not the ACA

And just in case the twit who tweeted this makes it disappear:

The reality of Trump’s promise to kick millions of Americans off of their insurance hit home when coal miners suffering from black lung disease realized the new black lung benefits were part of the Affordable Care Act.

But he promised to bring our jobs back! That’s why we voted for him!

For over six years people listened to the fear mongers and believed Obamacare was a horrible thing, yet signed up for health insurance through the ACA never realizing they were one and the same.

If you have health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, you have Obamacare. That Americans don’t know this fact shows how good Republicans are at lying to the American people. Once they repeal the ACA (which is Obamacare) the plan is to delay the elimination of the law until it’s time for the next election. Don’t want all those people about to lose their insurance mad at the bums who took away their health care and vote them out.

Also remember while these same Republicans in Washington D.C. take away your taxpayer-subsidized health care, they will keep their fully taxpayer-funded health care. Do as I say, not as I do.
