I don't usually like joe Manchin but...

12. They are willfully dumb.

And, THAT constitutes true dumb. Truly intelligent people are curious and skeptical about everything that's being flogged for them to consume or buy (into). The rethugs have been slut shaming Democrats and democratic-progressive programs and ideas as 'communist', ' socialist', 'elitist', etc., etc., etc. since the New Deal and the Great Society. Most of these folks gladly who are eligible willingly partake of Social Security and Medicare and will be very, very sorry and very, very fucked when they're taken away (and I do believe these shitstain rethugs are going to gun for those programs next in some iteration or other). These folks willingly drink at the socialist troughs of SS and Medicare without so much as a thought about it. And they gladly partook of O-Care though it was packaged up in a different moniker. As Manchin said, they didn't know they were blessedly grateful for the gift the ACA gave them and that the ACA is otherwise called pejoratively, Obamacare, but they'll know that it was Ryan-Trumpcare that took it away from them endangering their lives, their families lives if not outright killing them. They'll remember that.

That said. These fuckers have a short attention span and even shorter memories. When Trump starts up some foreign shit misadventure in the near future, they'll forget all about this and put these Trump cocksuckers back in office. Plan on it.
