We'll know we've made it when someone says, on camera, "Keep your government hands off my Obamacare"

Golly, you mean areas historically hostile to worker rights, low wages, and lacking appropriate social safety nets because 'socialism' and well yanked bootstraps have a disproportionally high reliance on federal supports?

Most enrollees are probably minorities. The red side does not care if they die or not.

I doubt the numbers reflect that, but I'm sure it's the messaging.
