| This is because "dismantle and replace" (or perhaps in other words, "defunding") is not a serious, viable solution to many of the societal issues we face. Things were ruined slowly. They unfortunately will need to be fixed very slowly too. |

| You've witnessed a dismantle and replace effort by the right wing that wishes to squeeze everything to make rich people more money. An effort by the left would destroy the private insurance scheme and build up medicare. Completely different and you'd get something functional. When the wrong targets get destroyed, everyone suffers. When parasitic forces are destroyed, the system functions better. It's the difference between defense and friendly fire. |

| It's increased mine if it works for the repugnant morons in government right now we can use the same playbook for positive change. |
