      A lot of people thought that Roe v. Wade would never get repealed, either.

      People keep ignoring the terrible shit Republicans say that they want to do, because they’re skeptical that it’ll happen. If you don’t want bad things to happen, then quit voting for people who say that they want to do bad things.

      🤦

      Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.

      The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court – which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.

      But you knew that. In which case you’re being disingenuous. Or you didn’t. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it’s pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I’m through teaching Civics 101 for the day.
