4. You can't get through to these people.

They love the ACA but hate Obamacare. They love TennCare (or whatever the other states name it) but don't care if Medicaid gets cut because Medicaid is for the losers. I agree that the name of each individual state's program should be used. I don't know the vehicle for this information would be or how you get them to believe it.

I've talked to so many people about what is going on with politics. Yes, I'm in a red area. Without exception, they tell me the following in the exact same words: "Kamala isn't very smart. I don't watch anything on the news anymore. I don't believe anything. Joe Biden is a crook." Clearly they are watching and listening to and believing the propaganda, and their sources are the same. The "I don't believe anything" defense is particularly hard to get through.
