“This twisted ideology is also behind the current federal government shutdown in the US. An opinion poli at the end ofJune
2012 showed that a majority of Americans, while opposing Obamacare, strongly support most of its provisions. Here we
encounter Tea Party ideology at its purest: the majority wants to have its ideological cake and eat the real baking. They
want the real benefits of healthcare reform, while rejecting its ideological form, which they perceive as a threat to the
“freedom ofchoice". They reject the concept offruit, but they want apples, plums and strawberries". Slavoj Zizek
The best synonym for “twisted" in “twisted ideology" is: a) Confusing.
