People Who Say They're Moving To Canada Because Of ObamaCare
(Many Americans with partisan views on this issue seem genuinely confused about what it means to have a "socialised" health care system, but it's been a standard talking point that Britain and Canada have socialised medicine and it's awful, so I'm a little surprised people would make THAT stupid mistake, even if they also say things that sound much more stupid to an outsider. But I've been wrong about things that I thought must have been parodies before :))
