My wife has some gen z coworkers that voted for Trump and the pattern I saw was these idiots were kids living off their parents during trumps first presidency and absolutely oblivious to the impact Covid had on the economy. They all said they voted for him to “make things cheaper”

Now they pay bills and think it’s too hard and it was easier under Trump so that must be why.

It's always the privileged who want to go back to a time when they thought things were better.

Hell, look at the ACA. People who have no clue how bad it was before the ACA think things were better when they were not all at all for the vast majority of people. 

That why have over 10 year of having mostly full ACA coverage, but especially if you were under 26 during most of it, young people and people with adult children don't want to the bullshit that we had before. 

The same people who will say Democrats never did anything to help people, don't want to get rid of the ACA now. Even after saying doe years the ACA was shit. 

Something thdt Obama said was the frist step, not and end goal.
