    This is generally true of conservatives / GOP voters as a whole (though, of course, there are always exceptions).

    When you ask them about policies without words or phrases they have been taught to react to, they almost always support … maybe not progressive ideas, but moderately liberal ones. When asked about healthcare, for instance, they react strongly against “Obamacare” and “ACA” and now, “individual mandate”. But explain what the ACA does, and how it works, and how insurance companies have to spend certain percentage of their revenue on healthcare instead of profits, and conservatives love it.

    They don’t get upset until they hear words or phrases the media has told them to get upset about.
