The government could care less; the government knew ObamaCare was unpopular, and proceeded anyway. The architects of that scheme are still in power, while some of the useful idiots were voted out of office.
This government (both parties) has been exposed; the plight of average Americans is ignored (or worsened), and there are no consequences. When illegals weren’t dealt with on September 12, 2001, it was all over.
Revolt is coming.
