they just want to change places with the oppressors.
And the same motivations can be found in America.

Example:

Like it or not, Obamacare was the duly enacted legislation of a
prior administration, advanced by the former political party in
control. But the knee jerk reaction of the incoming political party
was to repeal it, with no functional replacement system to
enact. The punitive "get back at them" overcame sound analysis
of the good (keep it), the bad (repeal it), and the ugly (amend it) of
Obamacare. Instead the cry was "BHO did it, so we MUST undo it."

I hope the wild pendulum swings of politics -- like the wild swings
of the stock market recently -- will settle into a "meet in the middle,
with reasonable variations."

We'll see on the morning of November 7th.

I agree political knee jerks and retribution is running wild but......the socialized Obamacare was shoved down the countries throats then sold over and over I would gamble my retirement and say most Americans have no idea of how it works hell the Democrats of the house signed it without knowing what it detailed.....remember"you need to sign it to know what's in it".....would this be participative by the people if we can't judge a bill because we can't see it before it is passed??? the economic implications and or how it would be paid for it is never free. The functional replacement is IMO to repeal it....I do not want government dictating my medical care and interfering with the market. Obamacare is a nightmare that was hurting financially those who could not afford regular healthcare by being punished for not payng for an approved plan the next step after this was a true government ran healthcare.....just like the other countries that are going bankrupt being supported by the economic powerhouses. Fuck Obamacare......the same socialist would never eliminate the big killers and causes of illness and death such as refined sugar, alcohol, prescribed and illegal drugs, poor healthy lifestyles....but they will impose healthcare insurance on poor people and then complain because the producers aren't giving up their billions to pay for it.

Good article....I do not like the way Trump acts at times I feel he gives fuel to Democrats too many sound bite opportunities....but he is the mouthpiece of America's outrage and why he was elected.
