When i was still on Facebook and Twitter in those days (I left both in 2012), I would ask the anti-Obama people what specific policy they had issues with. It was very difficult for them to come up with anything other than Obama Care. Thing is, they didn't even understand it. Sadly, the tea bagger movement was able to define the narrative on Obama Care. Many people still don't understand that ACA is Obama Care.
