'Obamacare'...Republicans hated Obama so much that they wanted to associate his name with the worst thing they could imagine: caring."

(angry Felix noises) gun-felix

its actually ideologically consistent because "Obamacare" was originally "Romneycare" (a neoliberal project in MA designed to turn patients into healthcare consumers who navigate the free market) and the GOP mostly hates Romney now lol

I’ve aggressively avoided watching Ted Lasso, despite my lib peers insisting that it’s the best thing—the best antidote to toxic masculinity. I can’t stomach Apple TV+’s brand of toxicly positive liberalism, and I’ve assumed that Ted Lasso is more of the same.

Pretty much. Ted Lasso is a manic pixie dream guy.
