But all of them voted to ban abortion, so they can sod off with "Well, it's not what I believe"...
And yet, they voted to eliminate all non-white immigration. So, again, they can sod off.
The ACA regulated health insurance, not health care. Reich Wingers want health care choices controlled, while de-regulating corporations.
Look up the percentage that voted for Trump, and that's your percentage of people who are Reich Wingers and want to have the state tell humans what health care they can get like:
What percentage of them voted for Trump?
Because that percentage voted for a Christofascist system of government.
Trump is an isolationist. Unless it's:
Sure... "Anti-interference", unless it's a friend of his like Putin, or Assad, etc etc.
Those stats are meaningless. The only stat that matters is who they voted for.
Sure, find me a Reich Winger who isn't what I described. I'm sure they will be a lot like "Trump is really anti-interference!"
No, they voted for someone who voted for something that ended up banning abortion. There are a few steps between most people and actual policy.
Citation needed.
And the health insurance that abides by ACA guidelines determines what forms of health care are covered.
People voted for all sorts of reasons, from the letter next to his name (probably the majority) to BS ads on TV (probably a surprisingly high number) to actually thinking he'll fix inflation (even though that's already fixed by the fed).
Very few people who voted for Trump agree with his entire agenda, and many actively dislike him (source: my entire family, neighbors, etc). You can't really tell someone's policy beliefs based on who they voted for, you can only tell a general direction they'd prefer the country to go, and it seems lower taxes won this round.
And how does that compare to Biden or Harris? Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine, Biden/Harris want to extend it and keep sending weapons over. Trump seems to want to end the war in Gaza, whereas Biden seems happy to keep selling weapons to Netanyahu. Biden has bombed his fair share of people in the middle east.
Trump is absolutely terrible, especially on foreign policy, but Biden has been awful as well. That said, I do support helping out Ukraine since it's a defensive war (though I disagree w/ Biden's authorization to use certain classes of missiles in Russia, since those require direct US involvement; at that point, we should just join the war).
I completely disagree.
Here's an article with a bunch of anti-Trump Republicans still in office. And that's only explicitly confirmed ones, I'm sure there are plenty more who haven't openly opposed Trump, but do intend on opposing some or all of Trump's positions on those issues you listed.
