In the wake of the killing, widespread public animosity towards health insurers ― and UnitedHealthcare specifically ― may explain why the company quickly limited who could comment on their tribute to Thompson.
Still, people still found a way to express how they felt ― to the tune of more than 90,000 laughing reactions as of Friday.
I took one for the team and went to Fox News to read the user comments on the first story I could find about this. It’s pretty telling that even there, the overwhelming sense I got – in between the “Obamacare is why healthcare is so bad!” and the “where’s Hunter’s cocaine, Mister FBI?” and the “our so-called nation is secretly run by acolytes of a shady transnational world government” – is that they don’t understand why this is getting any more attention than any other random street crime in the big bad city.
Even MAGA doesn’t care; wrong kind of billionaire, I guess.
The MAGA public doesn’t like billionaires in general, they just like Trump and Musk. That’s it. It’s a cult of personality, not anything based on actual values or policies.
Obviously MAGA is funded by them in the background, but the average MAGAt doesn’t know that or care.
Yeah, MAGA doesn’t have principles or anything even resembling a coherent world view.
I’ve had more than a few conversations with MAGA types who agree massive corporations are running rampant and are a major problem, but then go on to advocate for deregulation.
No you see regulation is bad, because government.
Which is a sentiment I could almost agree with if regulation wasn’t actually a tool in the arsenal for the working man and the community
We all agree these problems exist but MAGA has been propagandized such that they are so ass backwards that they end up pushing the wrong way
They only like things that may possibly be an advantage to them. Unless they are currently in a health care dispute with UHC, They honestly don’t give a rat’s ass what happens to anyone at that company.
Yep. Their list of billionaires they hate has different ones at the top of the list but they hate billionaires, too. I had folks in MAGA hats tell me they liked Bernie for that reason alone.
