It’s just the opposite problem. The Have nots - especially poor white America are some of the biggest opponents of “government run health care” and ironically enough, many of them are on Medicare.
Their fear is that their taxes will help “illegals” and “those lazy minorities”.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoThey are being manipulated into thinking it's the illegals fault. When we solve problems you'd be surprised how many people stop pointing fingers.
- scarface_74 2y agoThey are no more being “manipulated” than people were manipulated in the south during Jim Crew when people thought the world would come to an end if Black people drank from the same water fountain they did. You’re assuming these people don’t have active animosity. Besides a large majority of the base are “evangelical Christian”. By definition religious people don’t appeal to logic. How can you convince someone that Israel isn’t perfect (I don’t know enough to have a strong opinion either way) when they think that saving Israel is the first step in the second coming of Christ? You are never going to convince these folks that Trump isn’t literally sent by God to save America?
