Interesting comment.
I think the reason this has gotten the large, though still distinctly minority, support it has is because we are groping for an answer to the holiness hole in our soul.
Healthcare has become the grand stand-in of the day for the healing of God. Now it’s a pretty good servant in many ways. God has blessed our doctors and our pharmacies. But this is an attempt to cobble it up into an idol. IMHO, and maybe I’m reaching a bit spiritually. But if the explanation is useful, we should consider going with it. Once the idol is seen to be a ruthless taxer, people won’t want it so much any more. And, for now, another Obamascheme will bite the dust.
The prime motivation for the “sheeperal” leftist is to feel good about themselves as “good people”.
This is why no amount of logic penetrates.
This is why pointing out failures in the policies they support is treated as a personal attack - because to them, it is.
Yes, it is a spiritual battle. That’s really the only thing that’s real.
