(2,550 posts)They will sunset it until after 2018 elections so the pain won't be felt until the 2020s.
The public just isn't very educated on topics.

(11,088 posts)If we do like the Republicans in 2009 and talk about how nobody read it and they "jammed it through" and show up to every town hall protesting (like we seem to be doing), then we will certainly be on task to win substantially in 2018. But if we just kinda let them do it, and don't say too much, well. That will be too bad.

(6,979 posts)There is definitely voter anger out there with Dems, but will our votes count, because the GOP will be voter-suppressing Dems off the chain the next time around, and even if we can show that they are voter-disenfranchising, voter-suppressing, crosschecking and purging Dems off of voting rolls. Also, do you trust a tRumputin DOJ with beauguard as the AG to investigate if voter suppression against Dems is reported to him?
Clint Watts (Former FBI guy/cyber-terror expert) said recently when testifying in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee not long ago that the ruskies are STILL "meddling" around with us, and what's to stop them from interfering in 2018 and 2020? As we know, the current mentally unstable guy installed guy in the White House is a putin puppet and defender.

(1,352 posts)... in the next year and a half by this fucking repeal.
Those who will die can't very well vote, now can they?
(My paranoid self thinks this is actually the idea, mind you - not for 2018 so much as for all the years after... Kill us off and we can't vote against you...)
