Summary
Republican increasingly support for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
According to a new Gallup poll, 19% of Republicans approve of Obamacare, the highest approval number since the poll began in 2012.
Additionally, 32% of Republicans believe the government has a responsibility to ensure health care coverage for all Americans, a significant jump from the 22% who said the same in 2020.
Likely the main reason this is rising is because it’s no longer a propaganda talking point. Because Trump has so many other that are more attention-grabbing.
I believe that we’ve flipped and propaganda now has greater weight on public opinion than factual reporting. And I think this rebound shows some data of the effect of propaganda, evidenced by factual reality (people like having healthcare more than not, shockingly) creeping to fill the space left by receding propaganda.
We’ll never have a scientifically-sound study that clearly measures the poll effects of propaganda because of definitional and exposure unreliability. So inferential data like this is fascinating.
Why can’t we have some benign entity propagandize objective reality and data-backed solutions for the common good?? Is that not the obvious solution?
Alt-right brain rot is terminal now.
That’s the only practical solution. Education would have been the answer, but that ship has sailed.
