The ACA is a great case study in terms of how the right reacts to policy


They literally offered nothing but anger, obstruction and destruction for 10 years in response to the ACA. Somehow they were rewarded by their voters....for literally trying to take away something as personal and important as health care. Trump so obviously lied about having any kind of a health care plan, and their voters didn't care. Take away the ACA, take away pre-existing conditions, offer absolutely nothing in return, the deplorables applaud.

I agree with you that the democrats need to try to govern, perhaps pull a few swing voters their way as a result. I don't know what else you can do. But the reaction to successfully pulling us out of the great recession and trying to fix health care was a giant middle finger to decency and norms (Trump). That's who we're dealing with.
