It's incredibly gross (and therefore nothing to celebrate, only use to our future gain), but repealing the ACA is pretty close to destroying Social Security or Medicaid/care. Over the years, it's now become a huge standard in massive industries full of employees. Not just employees that are loyal to the Feds/Dems either. Repealing the ACA and going back to 2007 for healthcare will absolutely piss people off. A lot of people. In terms of what's good for the country, ACA repeal is a disaster. In terms of political strategy, it's probably a win for Dems. Repeal will cause massive problems, and when we gain control of various bodies of gov't, we can just argue for a new system with all the stuff we wanted in '08 but compromised on when we thought the GOP weren't hostile actors.
To use this stuff, the goal should be to set up the scene in Season 5(?) of Parks and Rec when the first guy at a town hall calls for a recall of Leslie. The phrasing the guy uses is something like "maybe instead of me losing my job (me: because of her tax increase), you should lose yours!" You can 100% count on the GOP costing people their jobs in the next 2 years (hell, next 6 months if they do any of this shit they're talking about). People in this country are unsympathetic as hell, and they're idiots who blame everything on the President, no matter what. If someone loses their job while a Republican is President, then they'll blame the GOP entirely and vote Dem next time.
There's a not-insignificant number of people who probably voted for Clinton, then Dubya, then Obama, and now Trump. These people are going to see things decline and they'll do the same thing they always do (and I can't believe I'm saying this, but some of it won't even be Trump's fault!); they'll vote for the opposition to fix things that the gov't isn't really even responsible for and continue the cycle.
