I watched a documentary in 2016 on YT called "Trump Country". (I can't find it now to link. There's so much Trump noise out there now that it's weighing down the algorithm.)ast year, a guy I know bitched when my state passed a price cap on insulin. He was saying it was harming the fabric of America. I asked him why is this “harming” us. He couldn’t tell me. He just said it’s Biden’s fault and can’t wait for trump to come back. After a conversation with him on big pharma’s greed and price gouging, he just said it’s better to pay 300+ for insulin….just because. I know people like this. They want free healthcare, but they’ve been lied to their whole lives that companies and rich fucks like trump will “save” them.
Basically, the documentarian visited West Virginia (coal country). They followed a guy who had been debilitated by black lung but still wanted Trump to bring the coal industry back. One scene stood out in particular. His wife was unloading all of his medication while talking about how much she hated Obama. The documentarian asked "But aren't you able to afford this medication because of Obamacare?" She paused for a second, then said "Yes, but I still don't like him."
